Statement from Newtown/Sandy Hook State Senator Tony Hwang on the Tragic School Shooting in Madison, WI

“My heart is heavy with grief and profound sorrow for the families and loved ones impacted by the tragic shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. This senseless act of violence has once again shattered lives, leaving a community devastated and mourning.

In moments like this, we must come together with unwavering compassion, love, and support for those who are suffering unimaginable loss and trauma. Our schools must be sanctuaries of safety, trust, and learning for every child, teacher, and family, and we cannot relent in our efforts to ensure their security.

I stand in solidarity with Madison, WI , and all communities as they begin the difficult path toward healing. I pray for strength and comfort for all whose lives have been forever changed by this heartbreaking tragedy.”
