WASHINGTON — The Biden administration criticized Florida Republicans on Thursday for working to relax state gun regulations in the wake of a shooting spree near Orlando that left three people dead.
The Wednesday shootings in Pine Hills took the lives of Dylan Lyons, a 24-year-old news reporter for Spectrum 13, as well as a 38-year-old woman and a 9-year-old girl.
“Too many lives are being ripped apart by gun violence,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at the start of a White House briefing on Thursday. “The president continues to call on Congress to act on gun safety, and for state officials to take action at the state level.”
