Governor Tom Wolf released the following statement after four students were shot in Philadelphia upon their early dismissal for Thanksgiving break:

"I'm so tired of the lack of action, the innocent lives lost and Pennsylvanians hurt because we can't come together to pass more commonsense gun laws. Enough is enough.

"Today, four young Pennsylvanians were shot the day before Thanksgiving.

"We live in a country where we can't walk home from school, go to the grocery store, or gather in sanctuary with our community without bloodshed.
