Tragedy in Charleston

Floor Speech

Date: June 18, 2015
Location: Washington, DC

Mr. MURPHY. Mr. President, let me say, before turning to the topic at
hand, those of us from Connecticut--especially those of us in and
around Sandy Hook, CT--our hearts go out to the community in
Charleston. The grief and tragedy they are working and sifting through
today is hard for anyone to imagine. All I can say is I hope they will
find, as we did in Newtown, CT, that an internal strength over time
comes from unlikely spots; that friends arrive from far-off places;
that there is a community that is much bigger than one church or one
city that is going to wrap its arms around families and friends of the
victims during this terrible time.
