The tragic mass shooting in a Texas school has prompted US President Joe Biden to call on fellow Americans to pressure members of Congress to pass sensible gun laws.
An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at an elementary school in the small city of Uvalde, west of San Antonio, killing at least 19 children and two adults, before being apparently shot dead by police officers.
In the wake of the horrific incident on Tuesday, Mr Biden demanded action be taken, but was not clear what action he will take nor did he call for a specific vote in Congress or policy.
