Franklin, WI – Forward Latino, a non-profit, non-partisan service and advocacy organization headquartered in Franklin, Wisconsin and with members and affiliates in 29 states issued the follow statement following the gun violence that occurred this evening at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Statement by National President Darryl Morin:
“Gun violence continues to touch every corner of our country, no place or gathering is immune. Tonight, it reached the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, despite detailed security planning and the presence of the U.S. Secret Service and law enforcement.
As authorities work to determine the target and motive, we condemn this act and all forms of gun violence. Our thoughts are with those affected tonight, and with every victim and family impacted by gun violence across the nation.”
