Wednesday 25 May 2022 07:46 PM Jill Biden says she and Joe WILL visit Uvalde after the school massacre trends now Jill Biden said on Wednesday that she and President Joe Biden will visit Uvalde, Texas, after a massacre at Robb Elementary resulted in at least 19 children and two adults being killed. 'Of course we going to visit Texas,' the first lady said in response to a question from DailyMail.com. Asked when, she said planning was underway. Biden was Dulles International Airport to greet the second shipment of baby formula from the president's Operation Fly Formula, which is bringing in infant food from Europe in response to the shortage in the United States. She began her remarks with prayers for the Uvalde community and asked for 'common sense' to protect children. 'The sudden senseless massacre in an elementary school, little children and their teachers, Eva and Irma,' she said. 'Let us pray that God cradles those broken families in the palm of his hand.' 'But let us also pray to use the will and courage God gives each of us to act united with common sense to protect our children,' she added. Jill Biden said that she and President Joe Biden will visit Uvalde, Texas, after a massacre at Robb Elementary resulted in at least 19 children and two adults being killed Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, also at the baby formula event, called the mass shootings a 'public health crisis.' 'If anyone ever doubted that gun violence is a public health crisis in America yesterday was an unequivocal reminder that it most definitely is,' he said. 'We owe it to them, to the victims and the survivors. We owe it to each other and to our children to do more to address this crisis. Our children should be able to go to school safely. Their parents shouldn't have to think twice about dropping them off - to hold the weight so many parents did this morning, including me and my wife,' said Murthy, who is parent to two school aged children. Their comments came as the mood was bleak on Capitol Hill as Democrats and Republicans struggled to agree on legislation to prevent future mass shootings. 'It's f***ing nuts to do nothing about this,' said Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, whose wife - former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords - suffered a severe brain injury during an assassination attempt in 2011. With the 100-seat Senate divided 50-50, Democrats would need support from at least 10 Republicans in order to move legislation forward. Tuesday's shooting in Texas saw gunman Salvador Ramos kill 19 children, and two adults, including special ed teacher Eva Mirales, before he was shot dead by a cop. President Biden gave an emotional speech on Tuesday night, Jill Biden at his side, about an hour after arriving back from a five-day trip to Asia. 'I'd hoped, when I became president, I would not have to do this again,' Biden began. Biden was vice president during the 2012 Sandyhook Elementary massacre and visited parents there. 'As a nation we have to ask, when in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby,' he said, raising his voice. 'I am sick and tired of it -- we have to act.' Robb Elementary has around 500 students aged between seven and nine. It is 90 percent Hispanic. People react outside the Ssgt Willie de Leon Civic Center, where students had been transported from Robb Elementary School after a shooting, in Uvalde, Texas Authorities in Texas have not revealed a motive for the massacre Earlier that day, Ramos shot and killed his grandmother. The attack is one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history and the worst school shooting at an elementary school since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who was the Democratic Congressman for Connecticut's fifth district, where Sandyhook is located, pleaded the Senate to enact gun reform. ''Fourteen kids dead in an elementary school in Texas right now. What are we doing? What are we doing?,' he said in an impassioned speech on the Senate floor. He went on: 'I am here on this floor to beg. To literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues: find a path forward here. Pass laws that make this less likely.'
