I was saddened to hear of the tragic events on Aurora’s west side today, safety of the community is paramount at this moment, and I encourage all residents to follow the counsel of Aurora’s officials and law enforcement. 
I wish a speedy and full recovery to the brave officers who responded to the call of duty, my thoughts and condolences are with their families and loved ones. 
I commend the professionalism of the Aurora police department, and thank all the emergency and first responders from around the state for their support of our great city, which I believe will show it’s best self as we come together in the following days to heal and move forward.
