US President Biden:
"There is too much violence, fear and sadness. I want to clearly point out that the evil forces invaded classrooms in Texas elementary schools and invaded supermarkets in New York . In too many places, innocent people died. Faced with this devastating force, we should resist strongly. Although we cannot prevent the tragedy, we can make the United States safer."
On the same day, U.S. Vice President Harris attended the funeral and commemoration of the shooting victims in a church in Buffalo, New York. Whitfield, 86, is the oldest and last victim of the Buffalo shooting on the 14th of this month. At her funeral, Harris said that it is time for "all good people" to speak out to injustice, and no longer allow a small number of people to create panic in society, and dare to listen and speak out.

U.S. Vice President Harris:
"You know that we are not developing new vaccines now. We are very clear about how to solve the problem of gun violence, such as implementing a ban on assault weapons. Everyone knows what assault weapons are. Assault weapons are designed to kill many people quickly. They are weapons of war and should not exist in society at all."

The Texas Church Office's Vigil for the murderers of the shooting
A few days ago, the shooting in the Texas elementary school in the United States killed 19 students and 2 teachers. The local church held a vigil for the victims on the 28th.
In the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Yuvaldi, Texas, local residents decorate photos of the teachers and students who died on the stage and offer flowers. After the church volunteers gave a memorial speech, images of the students who died were played on the big screen, and people also lit candles for them to commemorate them. Morales, pastor of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, said in his speech that everyone can feel angry, but don’t turn anger into hatred.
It is understood that after the 18-year-old gunman Ramos launched a shooting in elementary school, the local police waited 45 minutes before taking action, rather than entering the primary school to rescue teachers and students as soon as possible, which caused severe criticism from the public.
