“It is another sad day in America with yet another mass shooting. I’ve reached out to mayor Jerry Morales of Midland, Texas, and mayor David Turner of Odessa, Texas, to offer any and all support from the City of Aurora to their hurting communities.
“We, in Aurora, know their pain all too well and are reminded of it after each of these horrific tragedies that repeatedly occur in our Nation.
“We are sick of this. While I do offer my sincerest prayers for the victims, their families, first responders, and all community members, we know it will take much more to stop this scourge of mass shootings. We need to act.”
—Mayor Richard C. Irvin, City of Aurora
