Mother Grieves Son's Death, Cites Political Divide | JQJO

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. She feels her son's death has been politicized, believing a Democrat intern would have received more immediate attention from state officials. The shooting, deemed unintentional, occurred on June 30th, with Tarpinian-Jachym succumbing to his injuries the following morning.
