I am heartbroken and outraged by the mass shooting in Chicago last night that claimed the lives of four individuals and left fourteen others wounded. My deepest condolences go out to the victims, their families, and all those whose lives have been forever changed by this senseless act of violence.
The trauma from gun violence ripples far beyond the immediate tragedy—affecting loved ones, first responders, and entire communities for years to come. No one should have to live in fear or bear the weight of such loss.
