             PRAISING UNSUNG HEROES OF JERSEY CITY SHOOTING

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to praise the unsung heroes of 
the terrible shooting in Jersey City, New Jersey, last month.
  When tragedy strikes a community, we all hear about the criminals who 
committed the horrible acts. Only now and then do we hear about the 
heroes who risked their lives to save others.
  In Jersey City, it was heroes like Sergeant Majorie Jordan. She 
walked into the line of fire to pull a wounded police officer to 
safety.
  Heroes like Anayah Bey; she cared for one of the shooting victims 
until help arrived.
  These are two of the many stories of individual bravery, from 
officers and civilians alike, that happen during national tragedies 
like Jersey City. These unsung heroes represent the best of America 
during the worst of times, and they deserve our thanks and praise.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing these 
brave and honorable citizens and their care for their fellow man.
