This is Kim Soo-young from SBS. -(Anchor) At a high school in Georgia, USA, a 14-year-old male student opened fire, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to nine others. As American society is once again plunged into shock, attention is focused on whether the issue of gun control will emerge as a key topic in the upcoming presidential election in two months. This is a report from our correspondent Nam Seung-mo in Washington. -(Correspondent) A student hiding under a classroom desk is sobbing in fear. -(Correspondent) A shooting incident occurred at a high school in Georgia, USA. In the indiscriminate shooting, two students and two teachers were killed, and nine others were injured. The shooter is Colt Gray, a 14-year-old student at the school, who left his seat at the start of the first period and then opened fire.

A gunman reportedly attempted to enter a classroom but found the door locked, leading him to go to an adjacent classroom and begin firing. It has been reported that a teacher who was killed blocked the door, preventing greater damage. The shooter was apprehended at the scene, but the motive for the crime has not yet been disclosed. An AR-15 style rifle, commonly used in mass shootings, was employed in this incident. Police stated that the shooter will face adult charges for murder. 

With the presidential election just over 60 days away, the political sphere has been stirred by this major tragedy. Vice President Harris emphasized that it is time to end this senseless tragedy. Former President Trump, who has advocated for gun rights, expressed condolences for the victims but did not mention gun control. This is Nam Seung-mo reporting from Washington for SBS.
