“We are heartbroken by this news. Sam worked for me almost from the moment I became a congressman, helping us establish the office and run it during my first term,” he said.
“It hurts my heart that we have lost someone so dedicated to serving others in such a senseless act,” he said.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said that Woll’s death “has left a huge void in the community” and recalled that he recently shared when the renovation of the synagogue was being celebrated.
