before I begin I do want to say a few words about this tragic shooting that took place uh this morning in W Georgia um we're still gathering information about what happened but we know that there were multiple fatalities and injuries and we are grateful to the First Responders in the law enforcement that were on the scene but this is just a senseless tragedy on top of so many senseless tragedies and it's just outrageous that every day in our country in the United States of America that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive it's senseless it it is we got to stop it and we have to end this epidemic of gun violence in our country once and for all you know it doesn't have to be this way it doesn't have to be this way
