he then walked off the train with blood dripping from the knife

this is obviously a horrible

horrible situation

but this is why federal statutes exist

they exist to take care of situations like this because no one should sit in fear

when they sit on the light rail. If you sit in fear on the light rail, you sit in fear when you

walk around the streets of our center city like I do every day. You sit and fear when you go to our

perks like I do with my daughter every weekend. You sit and fear at our sporting events, our

entertainment venues, at concerts, at concerts, at our museums.

These are all the things that we've worked as a city so hard to build.

We built this city. Companies have come here in droves.

More than 150 people move here every day.

We built a city that people want to live in, but we can lose that all if we allow violent crime like this to go on in our streets.

And I'm here to tell you, the federal government is going to save our city from that.

To earn us family, we will pursue justice, we'll use the full weight of the law.

I appreciate you all being here. I appreciate your attention to this case.

I know this has gotten national attention. I know that there is a lot of thoughts about this case. There's policy decisions being made

because of this case, but as someone who just talked to the family of the victim, I hope you remember her.

Because this is hard for them. It's their case, and we will bring justice here.

I'll now turn it over to Special Agent Charge Barnacle.

Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.

Thank you for everyone that's here today.
