President Joe Biden has issued a statement following the shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School, saying Congress must act to prevent more gun violence.
On Monday, a shooter opened fire at the Wisconsin school, killing two people and injuring six others. The suspect was found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds at the scene.
“Today, families in Madison, Wisconsin, are grieving the loss of those who were killed and wounded at Abundant Life Christian School. It’s shocking and unconscionable. We need Congress to act. Now,” Biden said in a statement published by the White House.
He added, “We can never accept senseless violence that traumatizes children, their families, and tears entire communities apart.”
Biden did not release a similar statement following the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was shot in New York on December 4.
