2 School Shootings as Obama Visits Families of Oregon Massacre

HeadlineOct 12, 2015

In the United States, two people have died in two separate university shootings Friday morning in Arizona and Texas, as President Obama visited the families of those killed in the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, two weeks ago. Obama spoke out against gun violence later that day at a campaign event in Seattle.

President Obama: “We know that we’ve got to do something to prevent the kind of gun massacres that we saw just last week and two months before that and two months before that and two months before that, because it is not normal, it is not inevitable, it doesn’t just happen. It is a choice that we make, and it is a choice that we can change.”
