From Morning Report, 8:15 am on 16 February 2018

Florida is the 18th US school shooting this year and its only the middle of February. Chris Murphy is a Senator for the state of Conneiticut, where five years ago, 20 children aged between six and seven-years-old were shot at a primary school in Sandy Hook. He is angry at the political inaction on the issue of gun control. In other developments, the FBI has confirmed that it was warned about Nikolas Cruz. A member of the public alerted authorities to the post by Cruz on a YouTube video last year stating: "I'm going to be a professional school shooter."
