COMMEMORATING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE HISTORIC RESPONSE TO THE SHOOTING 
                       IN COLLIERVILLE, TENNESSEE

  (Mr. KUSTOFF asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUSTOFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the 1-year anniversary 
of a tragedy that stunned our community in Collierville, Tennessee.
  On September 23, 2021, a gunman opened fire at the Kroger in 
Collierville, shooting 15 people and killing one woman, Olivia King.
  We will never forget the courage of the law enforcement officers, 
firefighters, and first responders who sprang into action.
  One example: In an extraordinary act, Collierville firefighters wore 
bulletproof vests and rushed into the grocery store along with police 
officers to save lives before the active shooter was neutralized.
  The quick response of our heroic first responders truly exemplifies 
the strength and resilience of the town of Collierville.
  We will forever be grateful for the men and women who protect and 
serve our communities each and every day. I am proud to say that today 
and always we are Collierville strong.
