"Do something," a crowd chanted outside Sacred Heart Catholic Church as Biden exited after attending mass. And we’re committed to turning this pain into action," Biden tweeted in the early evening before concluding his visit. Police say the gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, entered the school on Tuesday with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle after earlier shooting his grandmother, who survived. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican who opposes new gun restrictions, and other local officials accompanied Biden on his visit to the school on Sunday. Ramos, a high school dropout, had no criminal record and no history of mental illness but had posted threatening messages on social media.
