                      OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING

  (Mr. LEVIN of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart 
to honor the four students murdered and the teacher and six students 
injured in the Oxford High School shooting in my home county.

  My own daughter was not in school today and will not be tomorrow due 
to threats of copycat violence. Many school districts across metro 
Detroit have closed altogether.
  This is a terrifying time to be a parent, a school professional, a 
law enforcement officer, and, Lord knows, a child.
  This was the deadliest school shooting since 2018, the year our 
children rose up and asked us to take action. The House has passed 
several bills to curb gun violence, yet Congress as a whole has not 
enacted a single new law for our kids.
  This father urges our colleagues in the Senate to act, no more 
thoughts and prayers, but to act at long last.
  I send my deepest condolences to the families and friends of Hana, 
Tate, Madisyn, and Justin. When we say never again, let's mean it this 
time.
