McCAUL PLEDGES SUPPORT IN WAKE OF FRENCH ATTACK

  

Local U.S. Congressman and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul says the world has once-again seen the true face of evil.

Reacting to the terror attack that has killed 84 people in France, McCaul says, the French have the U.S.’s unwavering support.

McCaul says “America will not rest until we have brought justice to the terrorists who plot against us all.”

McCaul goes on to say, “Attacks around the world from Orlando to Baghdad to Nice prove that we are in this fight together—and we will prevail over these fanatics and their hateful ideology.”

Meanwhile, in response to the rash of domestic active shooter situations across the country recently, McCaul has introduced legislation he says will directly assist local first responders across the country.

Under this bill, first responders can apply for grants to prevent, prepare for, and respond to active shooter situations, including lone-wolf attacks and other terror attacks.

The bill authorizes $39 million for emergency response providers in major metropolitan areas to conduct training and exercises.
