“As with all acts of gun violence in our city and beyond, my heart is broken for the victims and the families impacted. This was a heinous act of violence that will leave our city mourning,” Bencomo wrote. “The next few days will be heavy and chaotic but we must focus on supporting those directly impacted and their families.”

Bencomo also urged the public to refrain from spreading misinformation and rumors, advising them to “be thoughtful in what you share or repeat.”
