JEFFERSON CITY — State Sen. Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville, released the following statement regarding the tragedy that occurred yesterday in Uvalde, Texas:
“The events that occurred Tuesday in Uvalde were a terrible and senseless tragedy. My prayers are with each and every family affected by this cowardly and evil act.
