Blumenthal Statement on Tragic Shooting in Tennessee

(Washington, DC) – Today, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) issued the following statement after yesterday’s tragic shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee:

 

The despicable, devastating domestic terror attacks in Chattanooga show the urgent need for a comprehensive, overall review and revamping of security practices and policies at recruiting offices and reserve facilities.  We need comprehensive review – and reform – to assure sufficient security. These brutal, brazen murders are a chilling reminder of the need to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and deranged shooters.
