Congressman Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) today released the following statement following reports that a Gallup resident was killed in the mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada early this morning:
"I was deeply saddened to learn that one of the fatalities in the Las Vegas, Nevada shooting was one of our own -- an employee at Miyamura High School in Gallup. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all the families of the victims of this tragic shooting.
While the details are still coming in, I grieve for the innocent victims shot in this horrific and senseless act of violence. This tragedy has touched us all -- with lives disrupted and futures cut short."
