Statement from Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings | February 22, 2023
“We are saddened by the horrific shootings that took the lives of innocent victims in Orange County today. We work daily with our local media organizations to accurately cover the news and it is incomprehensible that a journalist has been killed while doing his job and that a child and a young woman have been killed as well. I offer condolences to the victims’ families and believe that this is a clarion call for our community to do more to stop this madness. I look forward to meeting with community leaders tomorrow to discuss next steps in reducing gun violence for our community.”
– Jerry L. Demings, Orange County Mayor
