Clyburn (SC-06) released the following statement on the shootings at South Carolina State University on Saturday, October 4:\n\n\u201cI offer my sincere condolences and heartfelt empathies to the victims of the shootings that took place at South Carolina State University. As a \u2018loyal son\u2019 and proud alumnus of SCSU, this incident is a horrific tragedy to many of us who celebrated homecoming this weekend.\n\n\u201cHomecoming is about students, their friends and families, none of whom should be subjected to such senseless acts. The epidemic of gun violence exacts far too high a toll on our communities \u2013 and we experienced it happening right here in South Carolina and Montgomery, Alabama this past weekend.\n\n\u201cNone of the victims, or currently identified perpetrators, are South Carolina State students. But these shootings call into question \u201copen carry\u201d laws that make the lives of college administrators difficult and put the lives of innocents at risk.\n\n\u201cBut we know something fundamental needs to change to protect South Carolinians from these kinds of tragedies. The scourge of violence must end, and it is incumbent upon all of us to do what is right to safeguard our communities.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clyburn.house.gov/clyburn-statement-on-shootings-at-south-carolina-state-university/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9924909099936485, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
