White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called for an “assault weapons” ban Monday in response to a St. Louis school shooting in which two people were killed.
The shooting occurred at St. Louis’s Central Visual and Performing Arts High School (CVPA) just after 9 a.m., Breitbart News reported. The attacker, thought to be around 20, was quickly taken out by police. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch indicated the “call for an active shooter came in at 9:11 a.m., and the shooter was shot 14 minutes later on the school’s third floor.”
CNN identified the deceased attacker as a 19-year-old who graduated from CVPA last year.
