San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the deadly shooting in Dayton, Ohio:

"In less than 24 hours, another American community has been devastated by the tragedy of gun violence. The hearts of all Americans break for the families and friends of those injured and murdered, and our prayers go out to everyone impacted in this latest act of terror. We give thanks for the brave first responders, who rushed into harm's way to save lives and ensured that everyone received the care and support they needed.

"We cannot allow another family or another community to suffer the pain and anguish of gun violence. We have a responsibility to the people we serve to act. The Republican Senate must stop their outrageous obstruction and join the House to put an end to the horror and bloodshed that gun violence inflicts every day in America. Enough is enough.

"May it be a comfort to the entire Dayton community that so many Americans grieve with and pray for them at this terrible time."
