Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H3469] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1210 REMEMBERING SANTA FE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING (Mr. WEBER of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WEBER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, on May 18, 2018, the Santa Fe community experienced a tragedy that forever changed families across Texas. Ten innocent lives were taken during those dark 30 minutes. Students and teachers who should still be with us today were ripped away from their loved ones in an act of unimaginable evil and violence. Like so many neighbors of mine, I will forever remember that day and the tremendous weight it carried with it. I remember the heartbreak that swept across Santa Fe, the fear that parents felt as they tried to reach their children and the grief that settled over the entire community in the hours, days, and years that have followed since. Eight years later, that moment is still very real for so many families. The memories of that day have never faded. The angels we lost will always be remembered by this community. Even in the midst of the unspeakable tragedy, the people of Santa Fe showed extraordinary strength, faith, and love for one another. Churches opened their doors for prayer and comfort. First responders ran toward danger to protect innocent lives. Neighbors stood beside grieving families and carried one another through the darkest days. The people of Santa Fe came together as one community, and that spirit of unity continues to this very day. Psalm 34:18 reminds us: ``The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.'' Today, Mr. Speaker, we honor the precious lives that were taken far too soon. We continue to pray for the families, the survivors, the teachers, the first responders, and every person whose life was forever changed. May we never forget those that we lost. May God forever bless Santa Fe, the great State of Texas, and our country. ____________________
