President Joe Biden is “mourning the deaths” in a shooting on Wednesday at Apalachee High School and said “we cannot continue to accept this as normal.”
“What should have been a joyful back-to-school season in Winder, Georgia, has now turned into another horrific reminder of how gun violence continues to destroy our communities. Students across the country are learning to hide instead of read and write. We cannot continue to accept this as normal,” the president said in a statement.
At least four people were killed in the attack, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Biden also used his statement to call on Congress to act and pass a ban on assault weapons, as it has done in the past.
“After decades of inaction, Republicans in Congress must finally say ‘enough is enough’ and work with Democrats to pass common-sense gun safety legislation,” the president added.
