MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR FALLEN OFFICERS
(Mr. JACKSON of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. JACKSON of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in a horrific
act of violence, four law enforcement officers were killed in
Charlotte, and four more were injured as the U.S. Marshals Regional
Fugitive Task Force sought to serve a warrant on a very dangerous
person.
I rise today on behalf of Representative Adams who is back in her
district, standing with the community following this tragic event.
I ask my colleagues to join us in a moment of silence to honor the
four law enforcement officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep
our community safe, to support the four officers who were injured, and
to recognize the courage of all the first responders who answered the
call on that day.
