The suspect in the Atlanta shooting was spotted on video in a neighboring county where the vehicle he allegedly carjacked was also found, police say. He’s accused of shooting five women in a medical center waiting room.
From CNN's Nicky RobertsonGeorgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock addressed the Midtown Atlanta shooting Wednesday in an impassioned speech on the Senate floor, urging Congress to take action on gun control.
“If we refuse to act while our children are dying and in a moment when no one is safe, then shame on us. Shame on us if we allow this to happen and we do absolutely nothing,” Warnock said.“My own two children were on lockdown this afternoon ... They are there, I’m here, hoping and praying that they are safe – but the truth is none of us is safe,” Warnock said.
While he said he's praying for those affected by the tragedy, Warnock added that “thoughts and prayers are not enough,” calling for immediate action on gun legislation.“Those who want to convince us that common-sense gun reform is somehow a call to take everybody's guns, this is not the cost of freedom … it is the cost of greed,” Warnock added.
