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.
