                          Jersey City Shooting

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, before I begin, I want to express deep 
sympathy for the families and the victims of the shooting yesterday in 
Jersey City, which left one fallen police officer, Detective Seals, and 
several bystanders as victims. My heart goes out to their friends and 
family today. Local and Federal law enforcement must investigate 
quickly and professionally so we can implement the best responses. We 
are not sure yet if this was motivated by hate or if it was criminal in 
nature, but whatever the answers, rest assured the response must be 
swift, sure, and strong.
