Anyone have details on the suspects? The article mentions injuries but not the motive yet.
I appreciate Acton focusing on gratitude instead of politics right now. Classy response.
This is alarming. How is a candidate supposed to campaign safely? Something has to change.
Thank goodness the first responders were there so quickly. Praying for everyone’s full recovery.
