CONDEMNING THE ATTACK THAT OCCURRED IN GREENWOOD, INDIANA, ON JULY 17, 
                                  2022

  Mr. BRAUN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor the memory of the 
victims of a senseless act of violence in Greenwood, IN, a southern 
suburb of Indianapolis.
  The lives taken that day were enjoying what should have been a fun 
July day with family and friends. In a moment's notice, lives were 
changed forever when a deranged killer tragically took the lives of 
three people. This is happening far too often, and so often it seems to 
have something to do with mental illness. This is just another example 
of how it plays out in the real world.
  They will never be forgotten.
  This resolution also expresses hope for the full recovery of those 
injured in the attack as well.
  I want to mention the victims by name. I think that is important: 
Pedro Pineda, Rosa Mirian, Rivera de Pineda, and Victor Gomez. You have 
to remember the people, their names, because this happens far too 
often.
  Within a mere 15 seconds of the shooter opening fire, a citizen by 
the name of Elisjsha Dicken, a 22-year-old from Seymour, IN, down in my 
part of the State, rose and stopped the rampage. Thank goodness for 
him. If not for his courageous action, the violence surely would have 
been much worse. I am proud to acknowledge the man, the young man, for 
defending himself and others in a valiant act of bravery in the face of 
unimaginable danger.
  Hoosiers are united in mourning for those lost in this senseless 
attack, and we pray for their families to find peace in the memory of 
their loved ones.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the Senate proceed to the 
immediate consideration of S. Res. 740, which is at the desk. I further 
ask that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and 
that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the 
table with no intervening action or debate.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 740) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record 
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kansas.
