A Republican running for Congress in Connecticut is speaking out about the shootings at the Orlando nightclub.  5th District candidate Clay Cope says this terrorist attack has left the country filled with questions and anxiety about how this tragedy occurred and why it was not prevented, given the fact that the FBI knew about the shooter. 

Cope says there were numerous warning signs from family and work associates, and yet a State Department investigation was cut short. 

While he is saddened and angry about the senseless loss of life, Cope says he had nagging questions about the effectiveness of the country's approach to national and personal security.  Cope says the victims cannot speak for themselves now, and he wants to know if the right course of action is being pursued to prevent future incidents.
