President Barack Obama has revealed his sentiments about the tragic shooting of the two employees of CBS in Virginia on Wednesday morning. The 54-year-old leader was devastated when he learned that a television news reporter and her cameraman were shot dead during a live broadcast.

The 44^th and current head of state had his one-one-one interview with the Action News anchor Monica Malpass in the White House, later that day. He was emotional as he talked about the latest killing.

"What we know is that the number of people who die from gun-related incidents in this country dwarfs any deaths that happen through terrorism," the chief executive told ABC in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old Alison Parker and 27-year-old Adam Ward were shot by their former colleague at the commercial broadcast television, Vester Flanagan.

They were filming on-air and interviewing a woman for their early segment when the gunman arrived. The respondent, on the other hand, was said to be in critical condition.

Moreover, the 41-year-old ex-worker of the radio network escaped and was followed by the police on the Southeastern state's highway. He later died by a self-inflicted gunshot according to Politico. The officers said that he was then pronounced dead at a hospital.

"It breaks my heart every time you read or hear about these kinds of incidents," the first African-American to hold his seat told Monica . Earlier that day, The White House commented on the issue, they said that the mentioned shooting was added to the spreading gun violence in the country which is "becoming all too common," as reported by Politico

The husband of the First Lady Michelle Obama is known as being vocal about gun control as his leadership is frequent involved in tragic shootings. To recall, nine lives of Black people were taken in another gun killing in Charleston, South Carolina, earlier this summer as delivered by Politico

President Obama begged everyone to please end the attacks. "I've had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times," he said to Politico.

Meanwhile, The White House spokesman Josh Earnest told the reporters that the Congress could pass laws that could solve, if not, lessen the pistol assault in the nation accoring to Daily Mail.

"While there is no piece of legislation that will end all violence in this country, there are some common-sense things that only Congress can do that we know would have a tangible impact in reducing gun violence in this country," he asserted to Daily Mail.
