Illinois political leaders are expressing their shock and disgust after a gunman killed at least 14 children and one teacher at a Texas elementary school on Tuesday.
“It is heartwrenching and enraging to hear the news of the elementary students and their teacher gunned down in Texas,” the governor said. “My prayers are with their families, and my resolve is with all Americans who are working to end senseless gun violence wherever it occurs.”
My prayers are with their families, and my resolve is with all Americans who are working to end senseless gun violence wherever it occurs.Illinois Rep. Robin Kelly called the shooting"despicable," and called on her fellow political leaders to take action. "When we drop our little one off at school each morning, we expect to pick her up at the end of the day," she said."As a mom, my heart aches for the families and the entire Robb Elementary School community. I'm lifting them in prayer. This is not normal. We must unite to end gun violence."
