US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Uvalde,Texas, in coming days to console families of the young shooting victims killed at an elementary school.

Biden was speaking at the White House to roll out an executive order on police reform on the two-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd, a Black man, while in police custody in Minneapolis.The President added remarks to his speech about the Uvalde shooting, which police say was carried out by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos.

“Jill and I will be travelling to Texas in the coming days to meet with the families to let them know we have a sense, just a sense of their pain, and, hopefully, bring some little comfort to a community in shock and grief and trauma,” Biden said. How far government can go in controlling access to firearms has been one of the most divisive issues in the United States.
