Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Shooting in Baton Rouge

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement on today’s police shooting in Baton Rouge:

“This morning, the men and women of the Baton Rouge Police Department were the targets of senseless violence. Heidi and I are keeping all those involved and their loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

“This is a trying time for our country, and understandably, frustration is mounting. As we just saw in Dallas, this is a horrific act fueled by people who hate. Now more than ever, we must stand united and support the very people who put their lives on the line to protect us every day.”
