Last night, an assassin cowardly shot two Federal Protective Service contract officers as they stood watch over a protest. One officer was killed and his partner is in critical condition fighting for his life. 
Deepest condolences to the family members of our fallen hero & our thoughts and prayers are with his partner for a speedy recovery. Our law enforcement officers put their safety on the line to protect the American public and we owe them and their families a huge debt of gratitude
Also last night, the brave men and women of @SecretService were assaulted by criminals who threw rocks, urine, and alcohol at our officers - breaking bones. These “protesters” committed such acts of violence while hiding behind the 1st Amendment right of lawful protest.
As the nation’s largest law enforcement organization, @DHSgov’s top priority is protecting the American people and our workforce. I want to reassure the American people that DHS will continue to fulfill this solemn duty regardless of the violence they face.
