New York Governor Andrew Cuomo requested the President Donald Trump and elected lawmakers in Washington to “do something” to prevent gun violence.
Gov. Cuomo made the plea after a shooting at a high school in Sta. Fe, Texas on Friday. At least ten people were killed and several others were injured in the shooting, according to law enforcement officials.
In an open letter to Pres. Trump and U.S. lawmakers, Gov. Cuomo listed the seven major deadly shootings that occurred in the country. The governor asked them how many more innocent people will have to die before they act to stop gun violence.
“Columbine, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Parkland. And now, Santa Fe. When is enough? How many more innocent people have to die before you act?
Gov. Coumo also emphasized that Pres. Trump and his fellow politicians in Washington “were elected to lead” and they must “do something.”
Additionally, he wrote, “Your first responsibility is to the people of this country, not the NRA—do something. My heart breaks for the families who have to grieve from this needless violence—DO SOMETHING.”
