Thank you, Senator. Before I begin, I do want to express my condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims in Nashville for this horrific school shooting. I also want to express my condolences specifically to Senator Hagerty, who is on this Subcommittee, and I know flew back to Nashville to be with the community at the time. We have both ATF and FBI resources working hand-in-hand with the state and local police right now, and they will continue to do so as long as is necessary. And the Justice Department will do everything that we have within our power to try to prevent these kinds of really horrific shootings.

The Justice Department, together with Attorneys General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of New York, and the District of Columbia, filed a civil antitrust lawsuit today to block JetBlue Airways Corporation's (JetBlue) proposed $3.8 billion acquisition of its largest and fastest-growing ultra-low-cost rival, Spirit Airlines, Inc.
