Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in light of yesterday’s tragedy at UCLA.
“My thoughts and prayers – and those of my entire staff – are with those affected by today’s tragic events at UCLA. My office stands ready to assist in any way. I also want to thank the first responders, the LAPD, the LAFD, the FBI and UCLA security for their fine service today. This is obviously a difficult day for the Bruin family – for the student body, for their families, for the university’s faculty and staff. I have no doubt that the university will persevere as we move forward together to understand today’s tragedy more fully, mourn those who have been lost, comfort those who have been affected and look for ways to help prevent violence at our schools and universities.”
