Washington DC — Today, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, founder of the gun violence prevention organization GIFFORDS, released the following statement after three people were killed in a mass shooting at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida.
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords:
“Once again, a community is forever scarred by the horror of anti-Black gun violence in America. My heart breaks for the families of three innocent people horrifically killed today in a hateful attack in Jacksonville—three people who would be at home with their families tonight if not for the deadly combination of hate and loose gun laws that made it possible.
