Statement from President Joe Biden on the Shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina | The White House
Jill and I are grieving with the households in Raleigh, North Carolina, whose family members had been killed and wounded in yet one more mass taking pictures in America. We’re considering of yet one more group shaken and shattered as they mourn the lack of mates and neighbors, together with an off-duty police officer.
As we mourn with the folks of Raleigh, we’re grateful for the regulation enforcement and different first responders, together with federal regulation enforcement who had been on the scene final evening and into this morning. My Administration is working intently with Governor Cooper to help native authorities on this investigation to the fullest extent wanted.
Sufficient. We’ve grieved and prayed with too many households who’ve needed to bear the horrible burden of those mass shootings. Too many households have had spouses, dad and mom, and youngsters taken from them without end. This 12 months, and even in simply the 5 months since Buffalo and Uvalde, there are too many mass shootings throughout America, together with ones that don’t even make the nationwide information.
For the lives we’ve misplaced and the lives we are able to save, I took historic motion to cease gun violence in our nation, together with signing probably the most important gun security regulation in practically 30 years. However we should do extra. We should cross an assault weapons ban. The American folks assist this commonsense motion to get weapons of battle off our streets. Home Democrats have already handed it. The Senate ought to do the identical. Ship it to my desk and I’ll signal it.
Could God bless our fellow Individuals we misplaced and their households and should He grant the wounded the energy to recuperate in Raleigh, North Carolina.
