Rep. Colleen Hanabusa just released a statement about the explosions in Boston that killed at least two people and injured dozens more. 

“My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by today’s senseless attack in Boston. I wish the victims a speedy recovery and hope their loved ones are able to find comfort during this difficult time. I would like to acknowledge the brave first responders, volunteers, and the everyday citizens who ran towards danger in order to help those in need.

“As more information becomes available, we will find out who is responsible for this attack. Whether the enemy is foreign or domestic, they will be brought to justice. The people of Hawaii and the United States will stand by our brothers and sisters in Boston.”

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard also released this statement tonight:

“I am deeply saddened by the senseless, violent attacks at the Boston Marathon today. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Boston, and all those who have been impacted by these attacks, and especially with those who lost loved ones today. The swift and professional reaction of the first responders and law enforcement on the scene is to be greatly commended, as they put their lives on the line to save lives and ensure the safety of others.  

“Those who carried out this heinous attack will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.   I will continue to monitor this situation closely, work with my colleagues on the Homeland Security Committee, and with our law enforcement community to ensure the safety and security of the American people.”
