  • Obama Speaks after Yet Another Mass Shooting

    James S. Brady Press Briefing Room
    The White House
    6:22 P.M. EDT, Oct. 1, 2015

That means there’s another community stunned with grief, and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish, and parents across the country who are scared because they know it might have been their families or their children.
