“It is time to turn this pain into action”.
That is the message from US President Joe Biden after 19 young children and two adults were killed in a school shooting in Texas.
The assault by a lone teenage gunman is the deadliest at an American school in a decade.
The 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in the city of Uvalde before he was killed by law enforcement, officials said.
Investigators say the suspect was armed with a handgun, an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and high-capacity magazines.
Once again the attack prompted calls for greater gun control across the US.

#TexasSchoolMassacre #RobbElementary #TexasSchoolShooting
this is the real America I’m not surprised at all, America need Mr.Zelenesky the super leader to resolve this crisis 😁
Lol he’s one heck of a corrupt guy
So this went from mourning the death of kids to a video lobbying against gun ownership (0:56). I’ll tell you now, gun ownership is important in America, because if there wasn’t, we’d be under the boot of tyrants, like Palestine is under Israel. Shame on you Al Jazeera, I thought you’d take a higher road.
Madness in the USA
If you know the GOD why you sale GUN to Saudi Arabia to killing innocent Yemenian or give GUNS to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and others countries to killing innocent Palestinian or IRAQ 🇮🇶 which GOD you are talking about????
Somany children Dead in ukraine?
Stop producing weapon s
US ARMY is k💠💠illing children all over the world,,,now thay fight each others..
I sometimes wonder about the humans outside of the US nation, living in far away lands and what goes through their minds when they see this.
This is democracy 🇺🇲
Every state should get funding and hire guards.
Toxic food psychotropic drugs guns… What can go wrong
Not to worry there will be gun debate
How a minor boy got machine gun easily
Is t
Stop supplying guns🤔
when I talk to any American Teen throughout Social Media, I see some psycho or drug addict or some identity crisis patient. Their society is completely rotten to the core. In reality, they are not civilized people at all. I can guarantee you such incident will happen again.
Cute. Victory to gun rights . Sarcasm obviously.
everybody likes to hate on Americans for our gun laws until they get invaded by a dictator – then everybody’s begging America for weapons and military support. The reason we don’t have free healthcare is because we spent our money on the military.
To all non-American commentators (I’m one) – stop attacking America and Americans. You don’t walk in their shoes. Let their country grieve without having to put up with your insults and platitudes. Show some humanity and if you have children of your own, hug them close tonight.
Al Jazeera, you need to cover Pakistani news on how the American puppet regime today on 25th March shelled civilians, children, women & senior citizens with tear gas & smoke grenades, on how they have turned on the civilians of Pakistan, & have made Pakistan into another Palestine, another Kashmir! There have been a total of 3 – 4 civilian casualties till now, & countless injured…
God rewards america in exchange for support evil of Israel rogue state killing Palestine women and children for almost one century
So sad to hear this.
Money greeders please stop making weapons to kill the innocent people.
Man who made the weapon is now getting killed by the same weapon.
Please remove hunting from your list of hobbies!
USA fault no one else’s
Condolence from Philippines
totaly unexeptable RIP innocent kids thry will go to GOD house 100% sure
Time the American population objectively reviewed their position in the world. How many innocents are killed by regimes that have little or no respect for human life. Is a Palastinian in Israel safer than a child in Texas? A Prince kills a rival in Arabia. Is not mass murder of children, sponsored and encouraged by government not worse? The NRA is misguided and supported by persons of the basest motivations and intelligence. Just as evil as the human rights violaters the US is so critical of.
A national war on guns is definitely needed to lessen gun violence, but sadly America is an unjust/unequal society in which law enforcement and the courts will be compelled to direct their enforcement towards minority groups. In a fair and just society, raising minimum age to 25, conducting extensive background checks, requiring a CCW permit and allowing active/retired LEOs to travel by any mode nationally with their weapon, could all be steps in the right direction.
To the USA’s legislators. YOU EVIL BASTARDS!
This is a perennial ‘War crime’ against humanity particularly children.
Made in USA number 1 for gun crime
What a predictable, but yet a sad affair, how is it possible that an 18yr old is able to purchase such a killing machine, as easily as walking into a candy shop, walking out, and then the sweet candy’s resulted in sorrowful tragedy.
Never ignore warning signs. The evil monster had posts indicicating he was going to attack
omg my ❤️ goes out to all the ppl list ther baby and love ones it’s so sad may each one of them got to heaven and god holds them in his arms I pray that ppl stop these ppl in ther tracts before it happens agian they need cycrist ppl that got at lease ten years or more exspernce to work with the police the teachers but most of all I’ve always said these grandparents can not handle these kids teens by ther self I belive each kid Liv’s with grandparents she be seeing cycitris because they have no parents and today it’s hard in school with everything ppl keeps changing in school at home to u need a shrink that got ten to a15 years of experience but u can blame the poltics potistan ppl because sence trump and then Biden are family’s and teens and kid’s and baby’s now are goin to prisons to many in shelters or on the street many in walfare foster homes parents in jail instead geting hosp help or ppl goin to prison instead of mental health so many ppl scared of viruses because to many ppl coming to cin Ohio amerca is not getting help from our presdent or Republicans and demcrac Wana play Fighting games it’s time Biden and white house helps amercan ppl now as well as other places
19 or 19 million, America is a death cult and nothing will change UNLESS and UNTIL those who profit from the carnage succumb to lead poisoning. Profit rules all, and every life is measured on what can be gained from it by our owners.

one thing
……tiktok
We’ll see biden dancing to savage love very soon
To bad this is going to be used by the left. But as the democrats say, never let a good tragedy, especially if kids die, go to waste.
that’s the fine example of how psychopaths are nurtured and armed in US of A three stars! why kill the children? if have guts then go to Afghanistan or Ukraine to fight for freedom!
Ask forgiveness from Lord Jesus and Seek Holy Spirit into you mindset
We need President Trump and we need the wall
Now where is malala yousifzai
USA always hungry for gun-game R. I. P
Afghanistan is more secure place to live than to live in US.
America is disgusting.
So many crazy young Americans these days. And the lawmakers? They are much worse!
What America needs is, they need to hire more security guards in public schools.
Next they should point at those democrats and Republicans blocking the bill to be passed
It’s very bad to hear that and my condolences but American government keep doing the same thing in other countries like they killed 80 children in one single drone Attack
Media never covers the mass shooting preventions from a good guy with a gun or other preventions. The only way media gets paid if the violence does occur. Ratings! Preventions dont make the headlines, kind of sick IMO! Real scums
Condolences, prayers to families who lost members in this senseless cycle of violence… America’s dream has been a lie, nightmare for people of color… politicians get rich off other atrocities, insurance companies, funeral homes and the ambulance chasers…
Reminds me of all the innocent children killed in Iraq. Reminds me of all the innocent children killed in Afghanistan. Reminds me of all the innocent children killed in Palestine…..
quiet kid attacked
Why do you call him a suspect, he is a blady terrorists
So sad you can’t send your child to school in the US and feel they are safe.
In the gathering or public place Gun shooting is sometimes happening in US on the otherhand suicide bomb in the Muslim country, what happen.. it never took place in other country
A letter for all Americans in this time of grief
PLEASE, STOP THIS NONSENSE!
Yes, we also cry for what has just happened in The United States, another shooting, this time on children, little innocent ones with great dreams that will be no more. It is true that your constitution allows you to possess guns, but those were other times, and it is more than clear to me that those who wrote your constitution did not know at all that the new generations of Americans would be so foolish as to kill each other with those possessed guns. When will you as a nation stop this nonsense? It is true that guns do not kill, people do, but it is also true that people kill other people too much more easily when they have free access to guns than when they do not (shootings like this only happen in the United States), and there are more guns than people in The United States.
I am sure that someday America and the whole world will remember those bygone days when Americans were allowed to buy guns as if they were candy, and that will surely be a better world than it is today.
Let’s see how deep and real your grief is for what has just happened in Texas for the measures (and their effectivity) that you as a nation will take to avoid the next shooting, and not just for the tears you shed. Do you really feel that grief? 19 innocent lives and two teachers (and all the previous ones) are not worth a deep and real change? When you say, never again this in America, do you really mean it? Consider, please, that your constitution can be amended to avoid more suffering in the future for you and your fellow citizens, maybe your own children, and that seems to be the only plausible way to take in the near future to avoid more massacres like this in your home country.

AMERICA GOTTA BE UNSAFEST PLACE RAISE KIDS ?? AND MAKE ADULTHOOD ANYWAY ??
“Let’s protect the second amendment, the god given right, to protect the right to self defence”

The US should start solving it’s gun problem rather than trying to police the whole world!!!
You people allowed any person to handle guns
In the name of self-defence
If this was so “predictable”, as the democrats stated, then why didn’t the democrats stop it??
American’s cant protected their people, y do they interfere in AFGHANISTAN.
Hii Nchi sio salama hata kidogo, kuweni nayo makini wale mnaopenda kuzikimbilia na utadhani kwenu kuna vita,
What about all the children murdered around the world – in the name of USA democracy? USA is imploding – their innocent citizens are feeling the curse of their governments actions!

So sad 😞 😭😭😭😭💔💔
These tragedies will be used by so-called progressives to alter the Constitution via “gun control” laws and restrictions.
The answer is increased law enforcement presence at the schools, churches, stores and concerts with a large armed private security presence working with law enforcement.
These psychos doing the shooting don’t care about gun laws. Progressives want the masses disarmed so they can bully the masses with “cancel culture” and not have to worry about revolution from the masses.
1.
Increased law enforcement presence 4-10 officers working with private armed security officers 2-10 or more depending on the size of the location.
2.
Safety drills for children, teens and the elderly.
3.
Self Defense classes for everyone.
4.
Arm the teachers intelligently.
5.
Increased security. No gun control.
Destruction of the Constitution is destruction of the nation.
Do gun law. Do your politics. But this problem is much deeper. Why Americans want to kill each other so bad?
1:55 a majority of Americans support more gun control, but they don’t *VOTE* for that; it is not relevant enough for them
This kind of horrific tragedy was happening in Afghanistan almost every other day by the occupational forces for decades. I’m not undermining Texas incident but I’m condemning all of them equally. The only difference is, those who killed children in Afghanistan are living freely amongst us.
First and foremost many prayers to the parents and families that lost there babies and that means parents of the teachers they are someone’s babies too . It’s one of the hardest things you ever have to go through is loosing a child and the pain never goes away . May God give them comfort, love and all the support they need in theses trying times .
The family structure in the has been torn apart in the US . Many Kids are being raised by single parents force feed woke agenda in schools, spend hours upon hours playing extremely violent games most of which are shooting and hacking up killing humans which causes a mind to become desensitized. Parents and schools are no longer allowed to correct/punish there children for bad behavior. So in some leads to disrespect for elders and authorities. Also many of the video games encourage rape , stealing, etc . Kids have no guidance no more , they need structure and security. A child’s mind is fragile and you think the US would understand that by now so yea if they want to ban but they better stop shoving woke agendas down kid’s throat push for family unity , age restrictions on violent video games and watch the internet and chat rooms that has people and organizations that groom kids and people that are mentally ill or vulnerable to do bad things.
It is a complex problem that requires a complex solution and taking guns away will not solve the problem only slow it down .
Peshawar school massacre, terrorist attack in which seven heavily armed Taliban fighters stormed an army-run primary and secondary school in Peshawar, Pakistan, on December 16, 2014, killing 150 people, of whom at least 134 were students……………………..THIS IS NOT NEW FOR US
Unfortunately This will carry on unless you chang the law which allows this to
happen
Texas school shooting it’s very unfortunate incident , may God give strength to the families of the deceased to bear the loss. 🙏
There over 20 Million guns in America, many are Assault Riffles. If we banned all guns with the strictest laws possible there would still be plenty of them around a century later…The Gun-Control response is silly and used only for political purposes.
Why they say ‘gunman’ and not ‘terrorist’ let me guess he is white!
USA is very danger when it comes to shooting cases
Sad sad sad! Any motivation?
Waiting for Americans to say Russia or China did this
Merk the shooters family..
Gun laws needs to be repealed in order to bring down mass shooting in U.S. It is happening far too often these days. I am so glad Canada does not allow owning guns, thanks to our government
Bought more guns. Love my guns. Notice how lunatics only shoot up innocent children. They never go shoot up an army base lol.
😢
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
Condemn the incident All condolences for the bereaved families and innocent children …. But It happens when you kill thousands of innocents across the globe and then find it difficult to figure out why its happening in your own country…. Voices of innocent are hallucinating the American society…. Think of children killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Pakistan by US Forces without remorse… . US population has started to plunge in psychiatric depressions…. Horrible
Now stop fingering Syria and Iraw. Control gun laws in your own house….
How was a stranger able to just walk onto school grounds and a classroom?
Why are you calling him a gunman? he is a terrorist and call him a terrorist 🙏
… sad … Sad … SAD
Bless those Beautiful Souls taken away from US all in such violent way! I am myself a Teacher for 7 year old kids in Vietnam, and I’m Happy Vietnam learned from History, and don’t let all civilians wear weapons! Even if I agree upon that it is the Person that is Evil and Kill others, it doesn’t hurt with stiffer Control on Whom is having access to arms!!! Liberty isn’t only Equal to have a Right to wear a gun, but also a Right to NOT be murdered by a person whom shouldn’t have had arms in the 1st place!!!
