Sunday evening, President Joe Biden called on Congress to act following the shooting.
"But we must do more than mourn; we must act. That is why my Administration has taken historic executive action to implement my comprehensive gun crime reduction strategy — from standing up gun trafficking strike forces to helping cities across the country expand community violence interventions and hire more police officers for community policing," President Biden said, in part.
He urged Congress to act by banning ghost guns, requiring background checks, banning assault weapons and more.
"Pass my budget proposal, which would give cities more of the funding they need to fund the police and fund the crime prevention and intervention strategies that can make our cities safer. These are just a few of the steps Congress urgently needs to take to save lives," Biden said.
