THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS SAYS IT
IS BELIEVED
THE SUSPECT IDENTIFIED AS SILVA
RAMOS WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
THERE LOCALLY AND WAS ALSO KILLED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.
SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY OF
CONNECTICUT HAD A STRONG
REACTION TO TODAY’S DEADLY
SHOOTING.
HE WAS SPEAKING ON THE SENATE
FLOOR YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE
SANDY HOOK SHOOTING TOOK PLACE
IN
CONNECTICUT BACK IN 2012, LET’S
LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
>>THESE KIDS WERE UNLUCKY.
NO WHERE ELSE TO LITTLE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL THINKING THAT THEY MIGHT BE SHOT THAT DAY.
NOWHERE ELSE TO PARENTS HAVE TO
TALK TO THEIR KIDS AS I’VE HAD
TO DO WHY THEY GOT LOCKED INTO A BATHROOM AND TOLD TO BE QUIET FOR 5 MINUTES JUST IN CASE OF
BAD MEN ENTERED
THAT BUILDING NOWHERE ELSE DOES
THAT HAPPEN EXCEPT HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IT
IS A CHOICE.
>>AND HERE IN VIRGINIA LAWMAKERS EXCUSE ME HAVE ALSO JUST RELEASED STATEMENTS ON
SENSELESS ATTACK. NOW POLICE IN TEXAS ALSO SAY THAT THEY BELIEVE THE GUNMAN
KILLED
HIS GRANDMOTHER BEFORE GOING TO
THE SCHOOL WHERE HE THEN
OPENED FIRE.
ROB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS JUST
2 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE
ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR
THAT WAS SET TO HAPPEN ON
THURSDAY OF
THIS WEEK THAT IS A SCHOOL FOR
STUDENTS IN SECOND THROUGH 4TH
GRADE SO SOME VERY VERY
YOUNG STUDENTS AND ONCE AGAIN POLICE SAY THAT SHOOTING BEGAN AT 11 42 THIS MORNING THAT
WOULD BE CENTRAL TIME IN THE
NEWSROOM JOHN CARLIN 10 NEWS

>>TRAGIC STORIES LIKE THIS SAID HERE WE ARE 2022. THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST
SCHOOL SHOOTING.
>>AND IT I MEAN IT’S NOT JUST SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. IT WAS JUST A WEEK AGO THAT WE
WERE TALKING ABOUT IN A GROCERY
STORE A GUNMAN WALKED IN AND
SHOT AND KILLED MULTIPLE PEOPLE
IN
BUFFALO I WORK FOR A WHILE IN
PITTSBURGH, THERE WAS THE
SYNAGOGUE MASS SHOOTING THAT

MAKES ME THINK ABOUT THE
CHARLESTON MASS SHOOTING.
AND OF COURSE JOHN
YOU WILL ARE YOU COVERED WHEN
THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AT
VIRGINIA TECH.
>>YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY IN 2007.
>>WE WERE. >>REPORTING ON THE VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTING WALL
TO WALL FOR ABOUT
3 DAYS WALD WAS A TV TERM
MEANING WE WENT ON THE AIR WE
PRETTY MUCH DIDN’T CALL OFF THE
AIR AND
WE DIDN’T COVER ANYTHING ELSE.
WE DIDN’T SHOW PROGRAM WE JUST
COVERED THAT SHOOTING AT
VIRGINIA TECH BUT THE THOUGHT
THAT STRIKES ME TONIGHT IS IS
THAT WHEN ITS CHILDREN.
IT JUST FEELS PARTICULARLY BAD IN THESE WERE YOUNG CHILDREN SECOND THROUGH
4TH GRADERS JUST 2 DAYS FROM
THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEND OUR
KIDS TO SCHOOL
AND KNOW THAT THEY’RE SAFE AND
THAT IS THAT IS WHAT
IS SO TERRIBLY TRAGIC ABOUT THE
SHOOTING IN PARTICULAR.
>>A LOT OF CONCERNS TONIGHT A
LOT OF FEARS FROM PARENT.
>>PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO ADDRESS THE NATION TONIGHT AT 8.15 YOU CAN WATCH
