Trump visits Parkland shooting victims at Florida hospital

WASHINGTON โ€” President Donald Trump visited victims of this week’s mass shooting in Parkland, Fla. at a Broward County hospital Friday evening, praising first responders and medical staff for their “incredible” work following the incident that resulted in the deaths of 17 students and adults at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

“It’s very sad something like that could happen,” Trump said of the shooting. Though he did take two questions from a small group of reporters, he walked away as a third question was asked about if gun laws should be changed in light of this latest mass shooting.

Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump met with victims during his stop at Broward Health North Hospital.

Trump first tweeted his condolences to shooting victims Wednesday afternoon, followed by social media posts and televised remarks Thursday in which he vowed future action on mental health, but made no mention of guns.

The Trumps left Washington for Florida Friday afternoon. They will spend the rest of the weekend in the state at Trump’s Mar a Lago club.
