Joseph D. Morelle has fielded a torrent of calls in the days since one Minnesota legislator and her husband were shot and killed, and another and his wife were seriously injured.
The highest-ranking Democrat on the House Administration Committee said he’s been in touch with the Capitol Police and sergeant-at-arms, as well as members of Congress who are shaken by the events.
“I think people are concerned and there’s some anxiety,” Morelle said. “But I think they’re very grateful, as I am, for law enforcement.”
