nsnbc : U.S. President Donald Trump ordered flags to fly at half-staff Monday as the country tried to make sense of the latest senseless mass shooting, the worst in U.S. history.
“We are joined together in sadness, shock and grief,” Trump said in a nationally televised address less than 12 hours after the shooting began. “It was an act of pure evil.” He said he would travel to Las Vegas Wednesday to honor the victims and meet with survivors, one day after he is to visit hurricane victims in Puerto Rico.
“In moments of tragedy and horror, America comes together as one. And it always has,” Trump told the nation. “We call upon the bonds that unite us, our faith, our family and our shared values. We call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties of community and the comfort of our common humanity.
“Our unity cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence and though we feel such great anger at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love that defines us today and always will forever,” the president said. Standing in front of a portrait of George Washington, Trump offered words of sympathy to the families of the victims.
“In times such as these I know we are searching for some kind of meaning in the chaos, some kind of light in the darkness. The answers do not come easy. But we can take solace knowing that even the darkest space can be brightened by a single light and even the most terrible despair can be illuminated by a single ray of hope.”
Trump did not mention guns in his five-minute address, but the Las Vegas tragedy once again brought the issue of gun control including – and especially a gun control debate that has little to do with the core constitutional issues that are involved – back to center stage in the national debate.
Police said the gunman, a 64-year-old Nevada resident identified as Stephen Paddock, had been killed after a SWAT team responded to reports of multiple gunshots from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay, a hotel-casino next to the concert venue.
