Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old Massachusetts college student interning for a Republican congressman, was fatally shot in Washington D.C. His mother, Tamara, expressed hurt and disappointment at the lack of outreach from Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, contrasting it with a letter of condolence received from President Trump.
