St. Charles, IL – State Representative Dan Ugaste (R-Geneva) issued the following statement in response to the tragedies that occurred today in Minnesota. A state representative and her husband were shot and killed, and a state senator and his wife were shot and wounded at their homes in the early morning hours.
“I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Hortman family for their tragic loss in a senseless act of violence. My prayers are with the Hoffman family, and I hope for a speedy recovery for the Senator and his wife, Yvette. Violence of any kind must not be tolerated in our society, and I strongly condemn it. I hope the person responsible for these tragedies is swiftly brought to justice and no one else is hurt.”
