Perhaps if my colleagues had taken a more active approach to resolving their concerns, we would have avoided this situation in which additional capabilities were needed to respond to the elevated threat this emergency situation that has been posted by iran. Mr. Speaker, there has long been a consensus in this body that irans malign activities in the middle east are a threat to the United States national security. And to our partners. In the past three years alone, we have passed legislation responding to irans support for terrorism, growing Ballistic Missile arsenal, and human rights abuses. The Iranian Regime has not backed down from these malign activities and it is my sincere hope that this body will not back down from its resolve to counter irans destabilizing agenda. Unfortunately this resolution and the other joint resolutions of disapproval for the 22 sales are very much a step in the wrong direction. And with that, mr. Speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro

San antonio. Just spoke with the sheriff here, and he says that the inlaws of the gunman attended this church here in Sutherland Springs, texas. But they were not in attendance yesterday. So that appears to be some sort of connection. However, the sheriff does say at this point, they still dont have any kind of firm confirmation on what exactly the motive was behind that. That helps explains what brought him here to this particular church. The sheriff also did tell us a little while ago that the gunman appears to have suffered two different types of wounds, wounds from the resident civilian that approached the scene and started firing at the gunman. That it is possible, it seems very likely that that civilian did wound the gunman and there was also the gunman also had his own handgun and also could have shot himself, as well.
