The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“THE DAILY 45: PACOIMA SHOOTINGS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E911 on May 14, 2008.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
THE DAILY 45: PACOIMA SHOOTINGS
______
HON. BOBBY L. RUSH
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Mr. RUSH. Madam Speaker, the Department of Justice tells us that, every day, 45 people, on average, are fatally shot in the United States. From coast to coast, the stories ring familiar.
In Los Angeles, police said this morning that they are investigating two separate shootings in Pacoima that left two men dead. One man, whose name has not been released, suffered gunshot wounds to his head and body. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died. In a separate incident, in the same area, another man was fatally wounded in an apparent drive-by shooting around 3 p.m. Tuesday. These daily shootings must end.
Americans of conscience must come together to stop the senseless death of ``The Daily 45.'' When will Americans say ``Enough is enough, stop the killing!''
