This act of terrorism is a direct assault on our values, and my deepest condolences go out to their grieving families.
In this crucial juncture, we cannot ignore the possibility that this horrific crime is part of a larger conspiracy to destabilize our State and push it further towards chaos.
We must stand together against these destructive forces and ensure that they do not succeed in creating fear and insecurity.
