MOMENT OF SILENCE IN MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS OF THE APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL 
                                SHOOTING

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, it has been a rough year in the 10th 
District of Georgia. We started out the year with the brutal and 
heinous murder of Laken Riley over at the University of Georgia, and 
then last Wednesday, at the Apalachee High School in Barrow County, we 
had an active shooter enter the school.
  Christian Angulo, a 14-year-old student; Mason Schermerhorn, another 
14-year-old student; Richard Aspinwall, a teacher and coach; and 
Christina Irimie, a teacher, lost their lives. Nine other people went 
to the hospital, and numerous people were hurt.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that our colleagues join us for a moment of 
silence to reflect and remember those people who lost their lives and 
their families and those people who are still healing from this 
incident.
