O'NEILL STATEMENT ON BUFFALO SHOOTING

BUFFALO, MN – Rep. Marion O’Neill, R-Maple Lake, released the following statement after news broke of a shooting at a Buffalo medical clinic, with at least 5 people injured.

“I have been in contact with Wright County Sheriff Deringer and Buffalo Police Chief Budke offering my support for anything they may need to help our community through this unimaginable tragedy. My friends, my children and grandchildren live and work in Buffalo and while we do not yet know who the injured are, we are all connected. My heart breaks for these victims, their families and our community,” said O’Neill. “I want to thank the Buffalo police officers, Wright County Sheriff's Deputies and first responders who ran toward danger instead of away from it, and the medical personnel who made sure that those injured had the best care possible. My prayers are with those who were hurt as they begin down the difficult road to recovery.”
