WASHINGTON, May 18-- Sorrow and anger were pouring after an armed student killed 10 people, mostly fellow students, in the state of Texas on Friday, in the latest bloody school shooting to hit the United States. A 17-year-old shooter was taken into custody after opening fire inside Santa Fe High School in the southeast of Houston, local police said. President Donald Trump addressed the shooting shortly after the news broke, vowing to take actions to protect students and secure schools. "This has been going on for too long in our country," Trump said during an event at the White House. "We grieve and send our support and love to everyone affected by this absolutely horrible attack." However, Trump did not say what actions his administration will take to protect students. The shooting at the Texas school came just over three months after a shooting killed 17 students and faculty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, state of Florida. Several students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High reached out social media to voice their sadness and outrage. "Our children are being MURDERED and you're treating this like a game," student Jaclyn Corin wrote in response to the president's Twitter comments about the Texas shooting. "This is the 22nd school shooting just this year. DO SOMETHING." Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas expressed his prayers on social media to students and faculty at the school as well as first responders at the scene. |
