U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered remarks on the Senate floor regarding the death of Russell County Sheriff's Deputy Josh Phipps, who was killed in the line of duty last night.
“Unfortunately, I need to begin this morning with some tragic news from Kentucky. Late last night, Sheriff's Deputy Josh Phipps of Russell County was killed in the line of duty," McConnell stated.
“His sacrifice is a somber reminder of the debt we owe our courageous law enforcement officers. They are the first to run toward fire and the first to put themselves in harm's way to keep us all safe," he continued.
McConnell concluded by saying, “Today, I know the entire Commonwealth is holding Sheriff's Deputy Phipps in our thoughts and our prayers. So, I ask my colleagues to join me in sending our deepest sympathy to Russell County and the Phipps family as they mourn his loss.”
