My dear friends,

I am absolutely devastated by yet another tragic act of gun violence in our
city. My heart is heavy and full of grief at this unimaginable loss of life.
There is incomprehensible pain and sadness throughout our community. I am
praying for all of Sacramento — for the victims and their families, for those
injured, for the survivors, and for our brave, tireless first responders,
community violence workers, and local law enforcement who remain hard at work
in the wake of this senseless violence.

Sacramento’s strength has always been in our dedication to each other — our
resilience comes from our kindness and willingness to extend a helping hand. In
the very difficult days ahead, I will continue to work with local and community
partners to make sure they have the resources they need in this moment of
tremendous sadness.

While the investigation is ongoing and there is still a lot we do not know
yet, it is abundantly clear that gun violence has plagued our city and our
nation for far too long. Sacramentans should never have to fear going out in
their community. They should feel safe at home, at school, at work and in our
city’s public spaces. Yet — we are once again experiencing tragedy and loss
inflicted by gun violence.

It’s been a solemn few days in Sacramento. This tragedy touches every one of
us. Together, as Sacramentans, we mourn for the lives cut short and share the
collective pain, fear, and worry that follow this violent attack on our own
community. Gun violence will continue to threaten families and communities if
we do not act. It does not have to be this way — we can and must pass
common-sense gun safety and community violence prevention legislation that will
save lives. We must renew our resolve to build a world free from gun violence.

In solidarity,
Doris Matsui
