Fox News
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday condemned what she called the "epidemic of gun violence in our country" following a shooting in the district that left four injured, including a child.
"The easy access to firearms — it has got to stop," the mayor said in a statement hours after the shooting, adding that all the chaos was caused "because a person who had no business having a gun got access to one and used it to terrorize a school community."
Authorities found several firearms, including several long guns and handguns, and "multiple" rounds of ammunition inside the apartment where the suspect was found dead, having apparently taken his life, Washington, D.C. Police Chief Robert J. Contee III said during a press conference.
