WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- President Obama expressed concerns about gun violence Wednesday, saying the number of gun-related deaths in the United States far outpaces deaths from terrorism.
In response to the on-air shooting in Virginia that left two journalists dead and a woman they were interviewing hospitalized, Obama said the incidents are heartbreaking. The shooter, a former co-worker of the two journalists, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
