Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona addressed gun safety issues at a town hall in Charleston, South Carolina, alongside his wife, former Representative Gabby Giffords. The event took place on the 10-year anniversary of the Mother Emanuel AME church mass shooting, where nine people were killed by a white supremacist.
According to Politico, the timing of Kelly’s appearance was particularly significant, coming shortly after the recent attack on Minnesota lawmakers. The incident, which left House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband dead and another lawmaker and his spouse critically wounded, has put political leaders on edge.
