Durbin Statement Marking Three Years Since The Highland Park Shooting
SPRINGFIELD – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today released the following statement marking three years since the shooting in Highland Park, Illinois:
“Today, we remember Katherine Goldstein, Irina and Kevin McCarthy, Stephen Straus, Jacquelyn Sundheim, Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, and Eduardo Uvaldo, who we lost in an unspeakable act of violence three years ago. I join the Highland Park community in continuing to grieve the loss of these seven lives.
“As we remember this tragedy, I’m reminded of the bravery of those who responded to this crisis, as well as the heavy emotional toll this senseless act of violence inflicted on the Highland Park community. In honor of the lives impacted by the Highland Park shooting, I will continue to push the Senate to pass common sense gun safety reform.”
Yesterday, Durbin, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and U.S. Representative Brad Schneider (D-IL-10) announced that they will once again introduce a resolution to honor the victims of the Highland Park shooting.
