President Trump criticized police for not immediately taking away firearms from Nikolas Cruz, the suspected shooter whom police had received multiple calls and warnings about. "The police saw that he was a problem, they didn't take any guns away," the president said. "Now that could have been policing, but they should have taken them away anyway, whether they had the right or not." Photo by Pat Benic/UPI
