"We're standing with the victims and their families in this moment of unspeakable agony."He ordered flags flown at half-staff to "mourn the victims killed in a horrific and infuriating act of violence".Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin echoed the sentiment, saying that "we must work to stop this mindless gun violence in our country".Condemning the incident late Friday, President Joe Biden said: "Enough. We've grieved and prayed with too many families who have had to bear the terrible burden of these mass shootings."Too many families have had spouses, parents, and children taken from them forever. There are too many mass shootings across America, including ones that don't even make the national news."Gun violence has led to nearly 35,000 deaths across the US so far this year, according to the latest data from Gun Violence Archive.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
