Mrs. McCLELLAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today alongside members of the Virginia delegation as we mourn the loss of Shawn Jackson, an 18-year- old high school graduate, and Renzo Smith, his stepfather, an Army veteran.

Just 20 minutes after Shawn received his high school diploma, both were tragically shot and killed when a gunman opened fire at the Huguenot High School graduation in Richmond last week.

We pray for Shawn's mother, Tameeka Jackson-Smith, and his sister, Renya Jackson-Smith, who, at 9 years old, was struck by a car fleeing the scene that night.

We invite all Members of the body to join us in a moment of silence to remember Shawn and Renzo.
