Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a member of the Democratic so-call “Squad,” says she is unharmed after her vehicle was struck by gunfire in her home state.
In a tweet on Thursday, Bush wrote, “I’m touched by everyone who has reached out. Thankfully no one was harmed. But any act of gun violence shakes your soul.”
“That’s why our movement is working to invest in our communities, eradicate the root causes of gun violence, and keep everyone safe,” she added.
She was not in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
KSDK News reported on Thursday that a “vehicle belonging to Congresswoman Cori Bush, D-St. Louis, was hit by gunfire early Saturday morning” in the St. Louis area.
In a statement, Bush said, “Like far too many of us in St. Louis, experiencing gun violence is all too familiar.”
“No one should have to fear for their safety here in St. Louis, and that is exactly why our movement is working every day to invest in our communities, eradicate the root causes of gun violence, and keep every neighborhood safe,” she added.
A source told KSDK that it is not believed Bush was targeted.
