The Washington Post reports:
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived in this small city of 16,000 on Sunday, as immense grief weighed on the residents, families and officials trying to come to terms with another senseless mass shooting in America. The visit is the second by the president in less than two weeks to the epicenter of a mass shooting to comfort families of victims in private and meet with first responders.
On Sunday, the Bidens first went to the memorial site at Robb Elementary School, where the 19 children and two teachers were killed Tuesday. The Bidens carried a bouquet of white roses, which the first lady laid on the ground near white crosses representing each of the victims. They then linked arms and viewed the flowers and other tributes placed at the memorial.
