Rep. Zeldin Releases Statement on Terror Attack in Orlando

Statement

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement in response to the deadly mass shooting that occurred early this morning in Orlando, Florida, which police have classified as a terror incident:

"Early this morning in Orlando, Florida, in the deadliest mass shooting in our nation's history, at least 50 people lost their lives and an additional 53 people were wounded. This barbaric terror attack against innocent Americans is truly devastating and our entire country mourns this senseless loss of life. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the greater Orlando community. While the investigation is ongoing, and details are still emerging, we are too often reminded that while we frequently hear and read about terrorist attacks abroad, we have a very real, ongoing homeland security threat within our own borders. We, as a country, must remain ever vigilant."
