Elected officials from the Chicago area expressed shock and grief Tuesday after a shooting left 19 children and two adults dead in Uvalde, Texas.
U.S. Rep. Marie Newman also took aim at policy as she mentioned other recent mass shootings:
"I cannot understand how the hell any GOP member of Congress can look at today's news and still believe that there is nothing Congress can do to end these school shootings. We need real action, and we need it right now. "The Chicago Public Schools community joins our nation in mourning the tragic loss of life after another horrific school shooting. As a former San Antonio school district superintendent, I know Uvalde well and am devastated and heartbroken for that community and those grieving families. Such acts of senseless violence can not be the norm for our schools in America.
The Second Amendment did not come down from Sinai. The right to bear arms will never be more important than human life. Our children have rights too. And our elected officials have a moral duty to protect them.And former President, U.S. Sen., and Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama issued these remarks in a thread on Twitter:
"We're also angry for them. Nearly ten years after Sandy Hook—and ten days after Buffalo—our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that have shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies.
