Orlando: "Our Thoughts and Prayers Are With the Victims"

WASHINGTON, D.C. – With more than fifty people dead and dozens more wounded after the Orlando nightclub terror attack, House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) released the following statement:

Chairman McCaul: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this senseless tragedy, their families, and the people of Orlando. I want to thank local law enforcement for their bravery in responding to this massacre. This appears to be the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11, and it is a sobering reminder that radical Islamists are targeting our country and our way of life. But Americans will not be intimidated by these fanatics. Instead, tragedies like we saw in Orlando only strengthen our resolve to fight back against terror and prevail over extremism wherever it emerges.”
