Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) released the following statement in response to the murder last night of 5 police officers in Dallas, Texas.

"Last night, in a deadly targeted attack against our police force, five law enforcement officers lost their lives and seven others were injured. Our entire country mourns this loss. These brave men in uniform sacrificed their lives to keep Dallas secure. There is no excuse for this hateful act. All Americans, regardless of race, gender, socio economic status, or religion, must join together in these trying times in order for our nation to move forward stronger. Police officers and first responders merit our unwavering appreciation as loyal Americans, and we must stand with them. There should be no divide between police and the citizens that they serve. We must unite around our police officers and first responders and support them, just as they support us each and every day."
