Pres. Joe Biden Pledges to Act on the Texas School Shooting During a Visit to the Tragedy's Site; Gov. Greg Abbott Receives Backlash

President Joe Biden on Sunday promised that he will do something in the aftermath of the Texas school shooting incident that killed at least 19 children and two teachers.

Biden made his comments after he visited Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where he and first lady Jill Biden laid a bouquet of white flowers to those already placed in front of the school sign, according to the Associated Press.

The Bidens reportedly viewed every altar erected in memory of each student. The couple then attended a mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where one of the victim's families was in attendance.

After the mass, about 100 people began chanting "do something." Biden then replied "we will," as he got into his car.

President Biden's response to the chanters marked his first public comment in connection to the Texas school shooting.

President Joe Biden then expounded his reply to the chanters on Sunday, as he expressed what he feels on Twitter after he visited the lone star state.

"To everyone impacted by the horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas: We grieve with you. We pray with you. We stand with you. And we're committed to turning this pain into action," President Joe Biden underscored.

It can be recalled that the president also addressed the issue on Saturday during his commencement address at the University of Delaware.

"We have to stand stronger. We must stand stronger. We cannot outlaw tragedy, I know, but we can make America safer," Biden said.

Biden's visit to Texas marked his second trip in as many weeks to console a community that was affected by mass shootings. The president traveled to Buffalo, New York, on May 17 to meet with the families of the victims and condemn the white supremacy after at least 10 Black people died in a supermarket in the Empire State.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Received Backlash After Visiting Mass Shooting Site

Texas Governor Greg Abbott was heckled on Sunday when he visited the site of the mass shooting in the city of Uvalde.

The governor visited the makeshift memorial located in the school, the area that was also visited by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, per New York Post.

Fort Worth resident Aracely Villalpando expressed her anguish with the Texas governor calling him a "son of a b****." Villalpando added that Abbott was not doing anything about the gun laws in the state. the resident also claimed that the Texas governor wants "everyone to own a gun."

Reporter Ron Filipkowski tweeted a video on Sunday that showed Abbott going out of the Robb Elementary School while people outside booed him. The video also showed that spectators were blocked by a barricade as Gov. Greg Abbott visited the tragedy's site.

Texas School Shooting

Salvador Ramos, 18 years old, entered the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday carrying an AR-15-style assault rifle.

Ramos killed at least 19 students and two teachers when he opened fire at the school.

Last week, the mother of the shooter claimed that Ramos was not a "violent person," but acknowledged that he did not have many friends.

Ramos also died after he went on a rampage at the said Texas school.
