Connecticut senator Chris Murphy has made emotive appeal for gun violence reform on the floor of the US Senate moments after learning 14 students had been massacred at an elementary school in Texas. “Señor. President, 14 kids dead in an elementary school in Texas right now,” él dijo. “What are we doing? What are we doing? Just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down African-American patrons, we have another Sandy Hook on our hands. What are we doing?” The toll was later raised to 18 children and three adults.
