                       Thursday, October 26, 2017

  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my gratitude for the 
bravery of Maryland and Delaware's law enforcement officers and the 
officers of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
  On October 18, a deranged gunman opened fire at Emmorton Business 
Park in Edgewood, Maryland and a used car dealership in Wilmington, 
Delaware. Three victims were killed and three more were wounded that 
day.
  I pray for the families of the fallen victims and for the recovery of 
the injured. Thankfully, our state and local law enforcement and our 
ATF officers responded quickly to the crisis, and apprehended the 
shooter after he fled the scene.

  I am perpetually grateful for the brave men and women who place 
themselves in the line of fire to protect others. Thank you all for 
your service and sacrifice, and may God bless America.
