LARSON STATEMENT ON THE TRAGEDY AT HARTFORD DISTRIBUTORS

Hartford, CT- U.S. Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement on the tragedy at Hartford Distributors, Inc in Manchester:

"First of all, I send my deepest condolences to the Hollander family and the employees of Hartford Distributors affected by today's events. I am fortunate to call Ross Hollander a close, personal friend and over the years, I have gotten to know many of the great employees of the company. I visited the site earlier today to offer my support. This is a day of emotions no person, family, or loved one should have to experience.

"The Hollander family and the workers of Hartford Distributors have donated to our local charities and provided their time to bettering our state. I ask that we all be there for them during this critical time. My heart is with the deceased, the Hollander family and all those affected by this morning's tragedy."
