Senator Gaston Releases Statement Following High School Shooting in Colorado

State Senator Herron Keyon Gaston (D-Bridgeport), Chair of the Public Safety & Security Committee, is releasing a statement calling for urgent action to address gun violence following the school shooting at Evergreen High School in Colorado.

“I am heartbroken to learn of the tragic shooting today at a high school in Colorado,” said Senator Gaston. “My thoughts and prayers are with the students, families, and teachers. No parent should be scared sending their child to school, and no student should have to wonder if they are safe in a classroom. We must come together to confront the epidemic of gun violence with urgency, compassion, and a commitment to meaningful change. My opinions are strong in both this incident and the deadly shooting of Charlie Kirk today. I stand firm on condemning gun violence in all its forms. Our neighborhoods deserve safety, not fear.”
