Harris announces new gun safety measures while touring site of Parkland shooting

Vice President Kamala Harris traveled Saturday to Parkland, Florida, where she toured the site of the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history.

The visit comes as the Biden administration looks to highlight its progress on gun safety initiatives, including improving interagency communication and state and local response to mass shootings.

The boarded-up building is slated for demolition later this year — but in the meantime, its blood-stained classrooms and bullet-pocked floors have served as a sobering, tragic reminder of the 2018 massacre.

Harris’s visit comes as the Biden administration looks to boost state buy-in for the red flag laws — or laws that effectively allow family members or law enforcement officials to temporarily remove firearms from an individual deemed to be at risk of harming themselves or others.
