Statement on Shooting at Family Research Council D.C. Office

August 15, 2012

(Washington, DC) - Log Cabin Republicans statement in response to the shooting today outside the Family Research Council's Washington, D.C. office.

"As fellow conservatives, Log Cabin Republicans are often in the same room with the Family Research Council. Though we rarely see eye to eye, we absolutely condemn the violence that occurred today," said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director. "Keeping in mind that at this time we know little about the shooter or his motives, whatever our political disagreements, in this country, we use ballots, not bullets, to address them. We offer prayers for the injured security guard, his family, and everybody at the FRC building, barely a fifteen minute walk away from Log Cabin Republicans national headquarters. In many ways, this is a reminder that we aren't so far apart."
