Closely monitoring the horrifying news in #Aurora and am on my way home to be with neighbors. Too soon to know the full details of what has happened, but what I do know is Aurora is a strong community and we will get through this together. Thanks to first responders on the scene.

Today, at least five people were killed and several first responders were injured in a mass shooting in Aurora, Illinois. I’m heartsick for the victims, their loved ones, and the brave Aurora Police Department. #GunReformNow

Like many, I’m watching the horrific scene unfold in Aurora, Illinois and it makes me sick to think that our country has a president who still refuses to acknowledge a real crisis when he sees one. Americans should be able to go to work without fear of being shot. This must stop.
