 MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE HOOSIERS KILLED AND INJURED IN THE SHOOTING 
                 AT THE FEDEX FACILITY IN INDIANAPOLIS

  (Mr. CARSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today, joined by my fellow 
congressional colleagues from Indiana, as well as our two Senators, to 
honor the eight Hoosiers we lost in last week's senseless shooting at 
the FedEx facility in Indianapolis. We also honor those who were 
injured and pray that they have a fast and speedy recovery.
  The deceased were our friends, family, and neighbors. They had hopes, 
Madam Speaker, dreams, and plans for the future, only to have their 
lives tragically cut short. And, sadly, they are part of a much larger 
group of Hoosiers and Americans we have lost to gun violence.
  As our community and our State grieve, and as we seek to move 
forward, we pledge to never forget those we lost in this shooting and 
any other senseless act of violence. Their legacies will live on 
through our efforts to save lives in the future.
  Hoosiers are resilient, Madam Speaker, and we will continue working 
hard to create safer communities across America, always carrying the 
memory of those we lost in our hearts. We will never forget them.
  Please join us for a moment of silence.
