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.
