Schools have done drills like this since 2015 and 2016. 95 . A lot of discussion about whats that doing for Mental Health. After all, schools, despite whats happening, schools are still one of the safer places out there for children. Still this is awful, and it sound like the kids knew what to do once this started. Ali and stephanie, thank you so much. Were going to continue on with this. Its 2 00 p. M. In the east, 11 00 a. M. In california. One student is dead and multiple others are injured after a shooting at a Santa Clarita high school today. Were waiting on two News Conferences scheduled to happen at any moment. One from the l. A. County Sheriffs Office. The other from the hospital where the victims were taken. Here is what we know so far. The l. A. County sheriff says the suspect survived a selfinflicted Gunshot Wound after he fled to a nearby home. The sheriff also says that the suspect is a Young Asian Male who was a student at Saugus High School and is now in police custody.

And the guy said its like trying to drain the Pacific Ocean with a bucket. I about ran off the road. No. 1, nobody is trying to drain the Pacific Ocean, but we are trying to put an end to gun violence. And if one, if one of those 580 guns that jackie spear helped get off the street and the sheriff helped get off the street, if one of those would have otherwise been used in a shooting or a murder, that buy back was more than 100 percent worth it. So weve got to work together, weve got it figured out and i know we can do it in a way that makes our Community Safe and protects the Second Amendment. So speaker pelosi, thank you very much for inviting me. applause . Shes very smart. Leader pelosi and congresswoman spear are very smart because when were in their districts they represent the San
Leadership, we chatted with her yet and she talked about violence in the community and what that means to children who have to experience it, even if you are not personally apparently injured but that they are traumatickly injured and we thank melia for her leadership as well. Now we come to the part of the program that goes to the core of the matter. The mayor is against illegal guns and that initiative, which is a national and very strong initiative, the chief talks about being part of the Police Chiefs who spoke from a congressional perspective, joe has worked with the Vice President on this subject. All of our focus in the house and the leadership of congressman mike thompson, a gun owner, a hunter, a vietnam vet, a wounded vietnam vet, a person who understands these issues in a very, very important way but i wont talk about how he understands it, let him tell us. We thank you for your leadership and your courage in undertaking this as you meet with us today. Thank you. applause .
One branch of government cant do it and one part of our community cant do it. Everything has to be on the table. Congress woman spear held a Gun Buy Back Program you heard about, 580 weapons taken off the street. I was in the car, my car in my district when she texted me and told me the success she had and at the same time there was a radio news report, somebody from cal berkeley, from the university, said, you know, this is not successful, its not a meaningful program, gun buy backs.
