0:59Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden applauded the courage of law enforcement officers who responded to the deadly shooting on Wednesday at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and again called for restrictions on assault weapons.
Biden, speaking just miles from the campus on Friday, called gun violence an “epidemic” and said “we need Congress to step up.”
The president, who had gone to Nevada to discuss new railroad projects, added: “Folks, we got to get smart.”
Three people were killed and another wounded when a gunman armed with an automatic pistol opened fire on the campus. The suspect, a professor who had unsuccessfully sought employment at UNLV, was killed in a shootout with officers, police said.
