Yesterday evening the world saw again senseless loss of life this time in Nice France including two Central Texans.
Were still learning details but this tragedy shows once more that terror has no weapon of choice. We must unite together to eliminate this scourge of evil. Today Nice and the community of Lakeway TX will be in our prayers."
Congressman Roger Williams (R Austin) this morning released the following statement after it was confirmed that two of the victims of Thursdays terrorist attack in Nice France hailed from Lakeway Texas:
Islamic terrorists know no borders as they have targeted us and our allies abroad and our communities here at home. Make no mistake we are under attack. The loss of Sean and Brodie Copeland hits us in our core and breaks our hearts. Our president must not lose sight of the mission to keep us safe and destroy radical Islamic extremists. May God bless the Copeland family and the entire Austin community today.
