President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are hoping to console a city stricken by grief and anger when they meet with families affected by a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school.
. Officials said the commander believed that the suspect was barricaded inside an adjoining classroom and that there was no longer an active attack.
"He couldn’t let go. And I couldn’t let go of him. We were both just crying at the time. It was so, so devastating,” said Gutierrez, who said the man's daughter had been shot in the back. On Wednesday, before details about the delayed officer response were known, Biden had praised their efforts, saying,"brave local officers and Border Patrol agents intervened to save as many children as they could.”
Hours after the shooting, Biden delivered an impassioned plea for additional gun control legislation, asking: “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen?”
