Statement by NSC Spokesperson Ned Price on the Terrorist Attack at a Church in Normandy France

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the horrific terrorist attack today at a Catholic church in Normandy, France.  We offer our condolences to the family and friends of the murdered priest, Father Jacques Hamel. Our thoughts and prayers are with the other victims of the attack as well as the parishioners and community members of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

France and the United States share a commitment to protecting religious liberty for those of all faiths, and today's violence will not shake that commitment. We commend French law enforcement for their quick and decisive response and stand ready to assist the French authorities in their investigation going forward.
