Senator Chris Murphy Statement on Oregon Shooting

Oct 1, 2015 5:37 p.m. – WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement in response to reports of a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon:

“My heart is with everyone in Oregon who has been victimized by this horrific tragedy. But I’m tired of sending sympathies to every corner of this country, every week. It’s time for Congress to end the silence which has become quiet endorsement of these murders. It’s time to stop believing it’s sufficient to send sympathies and then do nothing. It’s time for Congress to act.”
