AUSTIN, Texas – “Today’s shooting at Lakewood Church is yet another example of the danger and trauma that reckless gun laws have bestowed upon our communities. No place of worship, shopping center, classroom, or shared public space is safe under the leadership of those that place the gun lobby over Texans’ safety. We are praying for the injured and all those impacted by this senseless act of violence. Texans do not deserve to live in fear of a shooting at any time, and as more details emerge – we are grateful for the swift response of first responders under Mayor Whitmire’s leadership,” said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa.
