Statement by Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett on the Orlando Mass Shooting
For Immediate Release: Monday 13 June
“Our hearts go out to the friends and families of the victims of Sunday’s tragic shooting in Orlando. The tragic interplay of intolerance and too-easy access to automatic weapons once more has caused occasion for national mourning. There can be no justification, whether religious or political, for the taking of innocent life. And there is nothing more un-American than targeting individuals based on their faith, where they come from, what color their skin might be or whom they choose to love.”
