WASHINGTON – Florida Democrats say the school shooting in Texas demands action on guns.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. We've got a real problem in this country, and we must do more to prevent these tragedies from happening. Students and parents across the country are counting on us. https://t.co/O2rM3Uuklv

Another tragedy at a high school, this time in Texas. My heart breaks for the victims and their families. We can do something about this. And we must.

All Americans are heartbroken by yet another attack on a school. We should lift up in prayer the victims & their families. And we should all be grateful for the police officers and for the teachers & students of #SantaFeHighSchool whose brave actions saved lives today.

As we continue to learn more details about the situation, I’m grateful to police in Santa Fe that promptly arrived to the school to protect students and personnel. Hardening and securing our classrooms is more urgent than ever.
