By Matt Egan, CNNGoldman Sachs CEO David Solomon is calling on politicians to act following a spate of shootings in the United States. “I urge our elected officials to come together to enact policy initiatives to make our communities safer,” the Goldman Sachs CEO said. This marks Solomon’s first public statement since the Texas school massacre that killed 19 children and two adults on Tuesday. “These were innocent people who were merely living their lives — going to lunch, the grocery store and to school,” Solomon said. CNN reached out to the US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable for comment on the recent gun violence, but neither has commented.
