WATCH: Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr refused to talk about basketball at a pre-game news conference and instead called for stricter gun control after the killing of 19 children and two teachers in a Texas school shooting.

Authorities said an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at an elementary school in south Texas, about 130km west of San Antonio, before he apparently was killed by police officers.

"Any basketball questions don't matter...," Mr Kerr told reporters."In the last 10 days, we've had elderly black people killed in a supermarket in Buffalo, we've had Asian churchgoers killed in Southern California. "Do you realize that 90 per cent of Americans, regardless of political party, want background checks, universal background checks? 90 per cent of us," Mr Kerr said.
