Speaker Mike JohnsononX / Twitter22h ago
Tonight, I led a moment of silence with @RepFields and the Louisiana delegation on the House floor to honor the eight precious children whose lives were taken by senseless, unspeakable evil:
-Jayla Elkins, 3
-Shayla Elkins, 5
-Kayla Pugh, 6
-Layla Pugh, 7
-Markaydon Pugh, 10
-Sariahh Snow, 11
-Khedarrion Snow, 6
-Braylon Snow, 5
The hearts of the entire community are broken, and we continue to pray for all involved—the families forever changed by this violence, the classmates who missed their friends at school today, and the first responders, law enforcement, and local leaders who have been handling this terrible tragedy since Sunday morning. May God comfort them all.
