Five days after the Yuvaldi elementary school massacre, US President Joe Biden traveled to the Texas city to express his solidarity with the families of the victims of the shooting that rocked the US and reignited the gun ownership debate.
“I know we can’t prevent tragedies, but we can make America safer,” Biden said in a speech on Saturday, lamenting that “so many innocent people have been killed in so many places.”
On Tuesday, 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb’s elementary school when 18-year-old Salvador Ramos opened fire in one of the deadliest shootings in the United States in years.
Biden (79), a devout Catholic who has lost two of his children, a girl who died in a traffic accident and an adult son who died of cancer, said in a speech on Tuesday: Part of your soul is from you.
