President Thanks Law Enforcement Officials for Work on Sniper Case
Statement by the President
The entire Nation is grateful to all of the local, state and Federal
law enforcement officials who have worked with such great urgency and
with so little rest to solve the sniper case. Their efforts resulted
in the apprehension of those considered suspects in the sniper
shootings. We are also grateful to the citizens who kept their eyes
open, and provided information to the police. We will keep the victims
and their families and friends in our thoughts and prayers. The hunt
for a merciless killer has been difficult -- and America greatly
appreciates all the good men and women who fight crime and uphold
justice across this great country.
