Los Angeles, CA -- In response to the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) issued the following statement:

 

"Once again, a vicious act of malice has transformed a place of worship into a crime scene. While federal officials work with local and state law enforcement to investigate this tragedy, what we do know is clear: This was a hate crime of horrific proportions.

 

"Antisemitism has no place in our society. If we fail to commit in fighting against such hatred together, I fear it will continue to plague our country and lead to more senseless killings like what we saw this morning in Pittsburgh.

 

"Our hearts break for the victims, their families, and the entire Tree of Life Synagogue community. May their memories be a blessing to all."
