Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar On Church Shooting: Everyone Knows Each Other | Morning Joe

THIS MORNING. >> HORRENDOUS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>> JOINING US NOW, CONGRESSMAN
OF TEXAS. HIS DISTRICT INCLUDES THE TOWN
OF SUTHERLAND SPRINGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING
US THIS MORNING. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AND GOOD
MORNING TO Y'ALL. >> I CAN'T IMAGINE, AND HOW IS
THE COMMUNITY COPING? WHAT IS PLANNED FOR TODAY, AND
WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD? >> WELL, AGAIN, A SMALL
COMMUNITY OF LESS THAN 400 INDIVIDUALS.
A VERY CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY, FAMILIAR WITH IT.
AS YOUR REPORTER SAID, EVERYBODY KNOWS EACH OTHER.
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT GOT KILLED OR GOT
INJURED THERE. I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE
SHERIFF AND WITH OTHER FOLKS THERE FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND
IT'S VERY HARD. THE QUESTION IS WHY US?
WHY AT A HOUSE OF WORSHIP? IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT
TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS GRIEVING PROCESS, AND THEN GO THROUGH
THIS HEAL PROCESS. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD.
IT'S GOING TO BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THAT SMALL
COMMUNITY. >> WHEN DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS,
AND WHO NOTIFIED YOU, AND WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD FROM PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY DIRECTLY? >> MY STAFF, I REPRESENT THE
CITY, AND THEY KNOW WE GO THERE ONCE A MONTH TO GO PROVIDE
SERVICES. I GET A CALL FROM MY STAFF.
I'VE BEEN CALLED THE SHERIFF, I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR OVER 13
YEARS. AND I CALLED HIM, AND THE
SHERIFF TOLD ME BASICALLY WHAT HE HAD, THE INFORMATION HE HAD,
THE PRELIMINARY INFORMATION TOLD ME THAT THIS PERSON WAS COMING
IN, WAS POSTING A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE AND WHAT HAPPENED AFTER.
FROM THERE I SPOKE TO OTHER FOLKS, AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO,
MY OFFICE IS GOING TO BE THERE FIRST THING THIS MORNING IN THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO TO PROVIDE HELP. THE INVESTIGATION WAS YESTERDAY.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.
BUT NOW MY OFFICE IS GOING TO BE PROVIDING THE WORK THAT WE DO
EVERY TIME WE'RE THERE, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE THIS MORNING
PROVIDING ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO
TO PROVIDE HEALI
