'Our hearts are broken' - heartbroken Texas school massacre town begs Biden: 'Do something' | News24

The community urged him to do something to end gun violence in schools.Desperate pleas for a stop to the gun massacres plaguing the United States rang out Sunday during President Joe Biden's visit to Uvalde, where he prayed for the 19 children and two teachers slain by a teen gunman in the small Texas town.

The first couple began by visiting a makeshift shrine at Robb Elementary School, where last Tuesday the teen gunman walked in with an AR-15-type semi-automatic and began his slaughter. Ten-year-old Samuel Salinas was sitting in his fourth-grade classroom when the shooter, later identified as Salvador Ramos, 18, barged in and announced:"You're all going to die."Texas authorities admitted on Friday that as many as 19 police officers were in the school hallway for nearly an hour before finally breaching the room and killing Ramos, saying the officers mistakenly thought that he had stopped killing and was now barricaded.

Some played dead to avoid drawing the shooter's attention. Eleven-year-old Miah Cerrillo smeared the blood of a dead friend on herself to feign death.

Thoughts and prayers right.

The solution isn't to ban guns. We have this constitutional right unlike South Africans. No, the solution lies in deciding to protect schools and students the same way we protect banks, government buildings, and airports. Here's another perspective.
