NBA basketball boss Steve Kerr slammed US politicians and pleaded for gun reform during an emotional press conference just hours after a fatal school shooting in Texas.
Nineteen young children and two adults died in a shooting in south Texas after a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary school in the city of Uvalde.
A visibly shaken Kerr, coach of San Francisco-based Golden State Warriors, began his press conference by refusing to talk about basketball before his team's play-off defeat to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, instead using the platform to passionately plead for change to stop gun violence in the United States.
