Rep. Kelly Statement on Tragedy in Dallas

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (PA-03) issued the following statement today regarding the deadly shootings that occurred during a peaceful protest yesterday evening in Dallas, Texas, in which five police officers were murdered and others were injured.

“My heart truly aches for the heroic police officers tragically killed in Dallas during last night's despicable attack. Law enforcement everywhere deserves our unequivocal support, now more than ever. All of this week's victims of violence, and their families, will remain deep in my prayers. With every loss of precious life, the fabric of our great country tears. As we pray for a return to peace, order, and civility, let us also commit to bridging our differences and restoring the unity that we have sadly lost. Let us remember that even in our darkest times, we are all blessed to call ourselves Americans.”
