Davids Statement on Super Bowl Parade Shooting

Representative Sharice Davids issued the below statement following a shooting incident at today’s Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, MO:

“Words cannot describe the pain and shock we’re feeling as a joyous day turned into tragedy right in our community. My heart is with the victims’ families, and I pray for the quick recovery of those injured. I appreciate the bravery and coordination of the law enforcement officers, first responders, and health care workers for ensuring a swift, orderly evacuation and caring for the victims. Though our community stands together in the present, the traumatic memories of today will stick with children, families, and community members for far too long. This does not reflect the spirit of Kansas City, and I support those asking for a change to ensure a brighter and safer future.”
