MANHATTAN, KAN. – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) issued the following statement after last night’s violence against Dallas police officers:

“The targeted murder of law enforcement is an attack on every American those officers serve to protect. My heart goes out to the officers and their families affected by this tragedy. Americans are right to be deeply disturbed by violence in our country. Initiatives are already underway in Kansas to strengthen and reinforce relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve. I commend those efforts and call on each of us to actively work to make America a more safe, unified and peaceful place.”
