North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) said in an interview Sunday that he is “tired of seeing texts from children in a school telling their parents that they’re afraid and that they love them” following a shooting at a high school in Georgia this week.
“I’m tired of seeing texts from children in a school telling their parents that they’re afraid and that they love them,” the North Carolina governor said in an interview with CBS’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.” “We cannot normalize this.”
Two students and two teachers were killed in the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) official said in a press briefing Wednesday. Vice President Harris addressed the shooting Wednesday , calling it a “senseless tragedy” at a rally in New Hampshire.
“But our kids are sitting in a classroom, where they should be fulfilling their God-given potential, and some part of their brain is worried about a shooter busting through the classroom. It does not have to be this way,” the vice president said.
