President Joe Biden is expected to address the Nashville Christian school shooting on Monday and to reiterate his call on Congress to take legislative action, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
At a daily briefing, Jean-Pierre highlighted executive actions Biden has taken to address the gun violence epidemic and legislation he signed into law, but she said more must be done.
“How many more children have to be murdered before Republicans in Congress will step up and act to pass the assault weapons ban, to close loopholes in our background check system or to require the safe storage of firearms?” Jean-Pierre said.
The White House is in contact with the Justice Department and local officials about the ongoing investigation. Biden has been briefed on the shooting, according to a White House official.
At least three children and three adults were killed in the shooting, police said. Jean-Pierre said that “schools should be safe spaces for our kids to grow and learn and for our educators to teach.”
