A Senate judiciary subcommittee hearing on “stand your ground” laws scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed in the wake of the Washington, DC Navy Yard Shooting, Sen. Dick Durbin’s (D-IL) office announced Monday.
“In light of today’s tragic shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., tomorrow’s hearing on stand your ground laws has been postponed to a later date,” Durbin spokesman Max Gleischman said in an emailed statement.
Among the witnesses scheduled to testify at the hearing was Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin. A new date for the hearing has not yet been set.
