WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement after 13 people were shot and wounded at a house party early Sunday morning:

"The news of last night's mass shooting in Bridgeport is infuriating - I'm simply unable to contemplate the evil behind such contempt for human life. I'm overwhelmingly grateful that surprisingly no lives were lost. I thank Bridgeport's first responders and emergency services for their outstanding professionalism and effectiveness in times of crisis. I stand with the people of Bridgeport and local law enforcement as they investigate this attempted mass murder and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
