Dr. Tiller was shot down in his own church on Sunday, a soldier was shot and killed and another wounded on Monday at a military recruiting center.

“I am DEEPLY SADDENED by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son.”
