HONORING VICTIMS OF DAYTON, OHIO, MASS SHOOTING
(Mr. TURNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TURNER. Madam Speaker, last year, on August 4, 2019, around 1
a.m., a gunman opened fire on a crowded street in the Oregon district
in Dayton, Ohio.
The police officers at the scene ran toward the danger. Within a mere
32 seconds, because of the courageous acts of the police officers, the
shooter was dead. Hundreds of lives were saved.
A year later, our community is still reeling from this senseless act
of evil. Even with the police's quick action, nine lives were lost:
Lois Oglesby
Megan Betts
Saeed Saleh
Derrick Fudge
Nicholas Cumer
Thomas McNichols
Beatrice Warren-Curtis
Monica Brickhouse
Logan Turner
My community remains thankful for the quick action of the Dayton
police officers.
