| Assembly Member O'Donnell Statement in Reaction to Orlando Shootings
June 12, 2016 - In reaction to last night's deadly shootings at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Assembly Member O'Donnell issued the following statement:   My heart breaks each and every time people suffer from an act of terror-whether at home or abroad. As New Yorkers, we unfortunately understand the pain and grief inflicted all too well. As a member of the LGBT community these targeted hate crimes feel even more personal. Terrorism is not of any religion or state. It is born of ignorance and hatred. I stand in mourning and solidarity with all those who were impacted by the horrifying attacks in Orlando last night. During this month of pride, let us not be silenced by this dreadful occurrence, but come together in celebration of all we have achieved and recommitted to all that we must continue to do.
