Monday March 28, 2016
Washington D.C. ____Representative Paul Cook (R- Apple
Valley) issued the following statement on the incident at the United States
Capitol:
"Swift action on the part of law enforcement ended
today’s incident quickly. This underscores the importance of law enforcement as
the first responders to any domestic attack. I applaud their heroic actions in
keeping safe the innocent people visiting our nation’s Capitol building.
While the facts are still forthcoming, this incident
underscores the real threats we face in America. Whether it turns out to be the
action of a deranged individual or part of a larger plot, it doesn’t change the
fact that the first duty of government is keeping America safe. I’ll continue
fighting to ensure that our law enforcement, military, and first responders
have the resources they need to stop criminals in their tracks.”
