The words “sorrow” and “heartbroken” do not begin to express all of the emotions we are feeling today for our neighbor city, the City of Buffalo.

We extend our heartfelt prayers to the victims who died, were injured, or witnessed the mass shooting, and the families of all involved.

Hate and violence have no home in Buffalo and Western New York.

We will continue to stand together in love and peace to make our community one that is safe and just.
