Former Congresswoman Giffords Statement on Mass Shooting in Allen, TX
Washington DC — Today, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, founder of the gun violence prevention organization GIFFORDS, released the following statement after a mass shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas. At least eight people have been killed and another seven injured.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords:
“Americans should not have to live in fear when they are going about their Saturdays, shopping, running errands, and living their lives. Eight people have tragically and senselessly lost their lives today because our leaders refuse to act. We are just weeks away from the one year mark of the horrific mass shooting in Uvalde, and Texas leaders have failed to do anything to make their state safer. Now, another community has been torn apart by gun violence. We stand with the people of Allen and the region. We won’t stop fighting to save lives from gun violence.”
