A 14-year-old minor has been arrested as the prime suspect in the multiple murders. President Biden has called for a ban on ‘assault weapons and high-capacity magazines’ –
At least four people have been killed and a dozen injured in a shooting at the Appalachian Institute in Winder, Georgia. Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said there were “multiple injuries,” while some sources consulted by CNN said there were at least 30.
The main suspect, A under 14 years of agehas been arrested by the police.
Smith has asked for patience in the deportation process and in reuniting students with their parents, and in finding answers to the episode of violence, which could take “several days.”
Medical sources have confirmed that several gunshot wounds have been admitted to hospitals near the city centre, where at least five ambulances and a medical helicopter have been dispatched.
The President of the United States, Joe Bidenhas expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and, as he said, expressed his discomfort at yet another episode of senseless violence. “We cannot continue to accept this as something normal,” he said.
Biden recalled his legislative proposals to end this “epidemic of gun violence,” and appealed to Republicans. “We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of firearms, implement background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers,” he stressed.
