Crockett Statement on Shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins High School

WASHINGTON — Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) released the following statement following reports of a non-fatal shooting in a classroom at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, TX. 

“I am grateful to our law enforcement officers and first responders for their swift response to the disturbing shooting in a classroom at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas. My heart and thoughts are with the student, injured by this shooting, their family, and all the students and staff traumatized by yet another incident of gun violence in Texas schools. While it is a blessing that this incident did not escalate to the level where any students or staff lost their lives, it underlines how gun violence is becoming commonplace in our classrooms. It is a tragedy, and the impact of this on the academic success and mental health of our students is devastating. Guns have no place in our schools, full stop.”
