'It does not have to be this way': Harris reacts to school shooting horror

Speaking at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris broke from her prepared remarks and addressed the school shooting at Apalachee High School, which is located outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

“I grew up in California. We had earthquake drills, fire drills, but our kids are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their God-given potential and some part of their big beautiful brain is concerned about a shooter busting through the door of the classroom,” said the Democratic presidential nominee.

“It does not have to be this way, and this is just one of the many issues that’s at stake in this election,” Harris said.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, four people were killed in the incident and at least nine were injured.
