“I’m deeply saddened by the senseless attack that occurred today at Los Angeles International Airport. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims. This event reminds us of the perils our transportation security and law enforcement agents face every day as they work to protect travelers. I want to thank our officers in Los Angeles for their swift response and continued bravery in the face of danger.
