Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-8) issued the following statement regarding this morning's shootings in Ferguson, Missouri:

"The shooting this morning of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri is intolerable. More protests and more violence are not the answer. The community and law enforcement must partner together, working with respect and towards a mutual goal. I pray for the swift recovery of the two officers, and I pray that justice will prevail. It is time for peace in Ferguson; it is time for healing. Order must be restored so that, together, we can build a brighter future for our children."
