Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock recognized the victims of the Winder school shooting Monday evening.
Warnock delivered remarks from the Senate floor Monday evening, honoring the four victims of the Apalachee High School shooting.

“This nightmare again became a reality in Georgia with four dead, others injured, and an entire community traumatized,” Warnock said. “We must never forget their names – two dedicated educators, Cristina Irimie and Richard or “Coach Ricky”, as he was called Aspinwall. And then two young students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo.”

Warnock said leaders in the state and nation must work together to combat gun violence.
