U.S. Chief Executive Speaks Up
U.S. President Joe Biden and his better half, Jill, extended their sympathies to those "taken by senseless gun violence" in a public statement. "Students nationwide are learning to hide instead of read and write. We can no longer accept this as the norm."
On a Wednesday morning (local time), authorities received emergency calls about an active shooter. Frequent mass shootings and deadly incidents are a common occurrence in the U.S., where firearms are easily obtainable and widely available.
