| http://toomey.senate.gov?p=news&id=1862 | Toomey Issues Statement on Fourth Anniversary of Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting | 2016-12-14 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | PA | Patrick Toomey | T000461 | toomey.senate.gov | legacy | Allentown, Pa. - U.S. Senator Pat Toomey has released the following statement in honor and remembrance of the 26 children and school employees who were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School four years ago today: "Four years ago, twenty young children and six school employees were shot and killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. It was a terrible day for our country, and meeting some of the families of the victims was one of the most moving moments in my Senate career. These senseless killings also inspired me to work across the aisle on common sense gun safety legislation that upholds the Second Amendment while also making it harder for criminals and the dangerously mentally ill to purchase a firearm. I remain committed to this cause and look forward to working with Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) again next Congress on our background check proposal." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
