Burgess Statement on JPS Clinic Hostage Situation


Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) released the following statement about the hostage situation at the JPS Clinic in Fort Worth.

 Our biggest concern at this time is for the safety of everyone involved. While we have alerted Capitol Police, our office does not have a direct connection to the situation other than I have a district office located on the same campus. The building is on lockdown as a precaution and we will continue to monitor and work with authorities until the issue is resolved.”
