Rep. Johnson's Statement On The Holocaust Museum Shooting

Statement

"Yesterday a despicable act occurred. Hatred is something that leads to violence. So we should all be looking deeply within our hearts to remove hatred and to try to value humanity.

Officer Stephen Johns leaves an 11-year-old son, whom I saw on TV yesterday, and I don't think he could cry, he was so overwhelmed, and then his mother and his grandmother were too distraught to talk. So they need our prayers, and I send out my condolences to the family.

It happened yesterday that a black man, doing his duty at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, was killed. Our communities have worked so diligently in the past. We have such strong bonds, and so we are there for each other."
