MOMENT OF SILENCE IN HONOR OF VICTIMS OF BROWN UNIVERSITY MASS SHOOTING

  (Mr. AMO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, today, alongside my partner in the Rhode Island 
House delegation, Seth Magaziner, I rise to honor two students, Ella 
Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, whose lives were tragically ended in 
the horrific mass shooting at Brown University this weekend. Nine other 
students were injured in the shooting. Eight remain in the hospital.
  Today, we hold in the light the victims, their families, Brown 
University, and the broader Rhode Island communities.
  I thank Mayor Brett Smiley of Providence, Governor Dan McKee, and 
local leaders for their leadership in their ongoing response to this 
senseless tragedy.
  We are grateful to the first responders for their prompt action on 
the scene and medical professionals for caring for the wounded.
  As law enforcement continues their work, we thank them for their 
efforts and wish them strength in their pursuit to bring to justice 
whoever committed this horrific act.
  For the extended Brown University, Providence and Rhode Island 
communities, and everyone impacted around the country, we continue to 
stand together and to heal and work together toward the safety we all 
deserve.
  I ask all of my colleagues to join me in a moment of silence.
