Hoyer Statement on the Attack in Manchester

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on the attack in Manchester tonight: 

"While we still do not have all the details regarding who was responsible for this evening's heinous attack in Manchester, there must be no doubt that those who instigated or facilitated this attack will face justice. The people of the United Kingdom and the United States have suffered together through war and triumphed together over adversity to build a peace that is now under threat once more. Together we will defeat terror and violence, and together we shall continue to shine the light of democracy across the world. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families tonight and with all the people of Manchester."
