Capt. Mark Kelly Statement on Chicago Mass Shooting Last Night

WASHINGTON – Captain Mark Kelly, co-founder of Americans for Responsible Solutions, issued the following statement after last night’s mass shooting that wounded 13 people at a Chicago park:

“Just four days after the Navy Yard tragedy, it happened again. There may not be many headlines, but 13 people were wounded in a mass shooting in Chicago last night, including a three-year-old and two teenagers. Gabby and I are sending our thoughts and prayers to the victims, and we are firm in our belief that all forms and causes of gun violence deserve action from our elected leaders.”

Across the country, ARS is working in local communities to build an organization with millions of people committed to finding sensible ways to reduce gun violence and encouraging elected officials to enact responsible firearms policies that protect the Second Amendment. Today, ARS stands more than 500,000 strong.
