                         Violence in Las Vegas

  Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, before I begin, I would like to take a 
moment to address the unsettling events that occurred yesterday when 
two members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and an 
innocent civilian were victims of a terrible act of violence. While 
words offer little comfort at this difficult time, I would like to 
express my sincere condolences to the victims' families. The Las Vegas 
community is grateful to these police officers for their service and 
joins their families in mourning their loss. I would also like to thank 
the men and women of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who 
sprung into action following the tragic events, even after losing 
members of the law enforcement community.
