The gunman, a crazy person, simply walks right into the school, knocks down the window of my child's door and starts shooting. Shooting her and killing her," she said. "President Trump, you say 'What tin you practice?' Y'all can finish the guns from getting into these children's easily, put metallic detectors at every entrance to the schools. What tin you exercise? You lot can do a lot. This is non fair to our families. That our children go to schoolhouse, and have to get killed. I but spent the last two hours putting the burying arrangements for my daughter'south funeral."
