CNN News:美国佛州校园枪击案再引控枪呼声 特朗普发表演讲
CARL AZUZ, cnn 10 ANCHOR: Today, cnn 10 starts with a look at how Americans are responding to Wednesday's deadly school shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. That's where the Broward County sheriff called Thursday a day of healing, a day of mourning.
Churches, concert venues and parks are planning to hold vigils and prayer services. Florida's government has offered to help pay for the hospital and funeral bills for the victims and provide counseling for those affected.
From Florida to Washington, D.C., debate has renewed over additional gun legislation in the U.S. Some officials say it wouldn't have prevented Wednesday's attack. Others disagree.
ROBERT RUNCIE, BROWARD COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT: Students have been reaching out to me, reaching out to staff, probably board members and others, say that now, now is the time for this country to have a real conversation on sensible gun control laws in this country.
AZUZ: Another subject discussed was mental health, as investigators look into a possible warnings signs that the suspected shooter gave in the months before the attack.
SHERIFF SCOTT ISRAEL, BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA: We need to have the power to take that person and bring them before mental health professionals and that particular time, involuntarily, and have them examined. People are going to be rightfully so concerned about their rights, as am I. But what about the rights of these students? What about the rights of young kids who go to schools with book bags and pencils? Don't they have the right to be protected?
AZUZ: And with the flag flying at half-staff over the White House, President Trump addressed the nation yesterday and specifically told young Americans that they are, quote, never alone and never will be.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Our entire nation with one heavy heart is praying for the victims and their families. To every parent, teacher and child, who is hurting so badly, we are here for you, whatever you need, whatever we can do to ease your pain.
AZUZ: The president plans to visit Parkland in the days ahead. It's a community both in mourning and on edge, as a precautionary measure, all other schools in Florida's Broward County were locked down yesterday with increased security.
