U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) released the following statement regarding the shooting in Willowbrook, Ill. Sunday, June 18:
“I’m heartbroken to see the news from Willowbrook this morning. We live in a tragic reality where you cannot go to school, go to the grocery store, go to your place of worship, or celebrate holidays like the Fourth of July or Juneteenth without fear of being shot. Change is needed. We cannot allow this to be the status quo.
“I’m thankful for the first responders who attended to the victims last night and will continue to work with local authorities to stay updated on the situation.”
