“Earlier this morning, I directed the Indiana State Police to work with all local responders at the shooting at Dennis Intermediate School,” said Governor Holcomb in his statement. “We will continue to work with the school and Superintendent Jennifer McCormick to do everything possible to assist the community and support all those impacted by this terrible unfolding situation.”
Congressman-elect Greg Pence’s statement read as follows: “It’s incredibly concerning to learn what unfolded at Dennis Intermediate School this morning in Richmond.
