Biden Urges Turning ‘Pain Into Action’ After School Shooting
U.S. President Joe Biden vowed to find a way to tighten gun ownership laws after Tuesday’s mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left at least 21 dead.
The shooter killed 19 schoolchildren and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde YOU VAL DEE, Department of Public Safety Sgt. Erick Estrada told CNN.
“I am sick and tired of it. We have to act. And don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage. I spent my career as a Senator and a Vice President working to pass common sense gun laws. We can’t and won’t prevent every tragedy, but we know they work and have positive impact. “
The 18-year-old shooter Salvador Rolando Ramos was killed by a law enforcement official.
He was bullied for having a stutter and a strong lisp, friends and family said.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, Tuesday’s massacre was the second-deadliest U.S. school shooting of the past decade.
The first is the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut, in which 28 people were killed, including 20 children.
The 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, took 17 lives and now ranks third.
