I am absolutely heartbroken that America’s latest mass shooting took place in a Walmart in my district in Chesapeake, Virginia tonight. I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives.

Our hearts break for the victims in Chesapeake and the families who've lost loved ones in another senseless act of violence.
Praying for our Commonwealth.

Sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake. I’ll be monitoring developments closely.

In the meantime, I urge all those in the community to listen to guidance from local law enforcement and stay away from the scene.
