JACKSONVILLE, FL – Today, State Representative Angie Nixon released the following statement in response to the shooting near Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee:

“My heart is broken for the victims, their families, and the entire community. Homecoming weekend at FAMU is a time of profound joy, pride, and connection. To see that beautiful sense of community shattered by senseless violence is devastating, and learning that multiple victims are children is even more horrifying. As we pray for the swift recovery of everyone hurt, we must also take action to care for everyone impacted by this trauma and for each other. The gun violence in our country has to stop, and it will take all of us working together to heal our communities and protect our kids.”
