Trump asks for the death penalty, protection within the synagogue after firing
President Trump said the suspect responsible for killing and wounding several people and police at a synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday "should receive the death penalty," and said the suspect should "pay the final price."
Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One, Trump tackled the "devastating" shooting that occurred Saturday morning at the Tree of Life Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, which is predominantly Jewish.
Multiple deaths were reported, and three police officers were shot.
"The people who do this must get the death penalty," Trump said. "I think they should toughen the laws and I think they should carry the death penalty to anyone who does something like that to innocent people."
He added: "They really should suffer the final price, pay the final price." I have felt this way for a long time. People do not agree with me, and I can not imagine why. "
Earlier this month, the president called for imposing the death penalty against "criminals" who kill police officers. The president has called for a tougher death penalty policy since the 2016 presidential campaign.
The death penalty is legal in Pennsylvania, although current Governor Tom Wolf stopped the process when he took office in 2015. The last person executed under the death penalty in Pennsylvania was in prison. 1999 - the first since 1962.
Trump was asked about the stricter gun laws, which he dismissed, saying they had "little to do with it."
"If they had indoor protection, the results would have been much better." "If they had some kind of protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very different situation," Trump said. "They did not have protection, they had a manic walk and they had no protection."
He added: "If there was an armed guard inside the temple, they could have stopped him."
"Maybe there had not been anyone dead except for him, frankly," Trump continued. "Is not it a pity you have to think about that inside a church or inside a church? But certainly, the result would have been much better."
House of Representatives Democrat Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Said he was "horrified" by the shooting, but criticized the president's suggestion to have armed guards in the houses of worship.
"The president's suggestion that Americans should worship under armed guard is absurd," Hoyer said in a statement. "We must address the ease with which someone can obtain the most dangerous weapons of war and use them to commit acts of mass violence in this country." "
Lifeguards were spotted near the Synagogue of the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a shooter opened fire on Saturday, October 27, 2018.
(AP)The president added that "the world is a violent world".
"You think when you get over it, it just goes away," Trump said. "But then he comes back in the form of a madman, a whacko."
Trump added that before taking office, he "observed cases like this," calling it "shame."
"But it's even harder when you're the president of the United States," Trump said. "You have to see this kind of thing happen, and it's very sad to see it."
Trump tweeted Saturday morning and said the events in Pittsburgh were "much more devastating than originally thought," adding that "he spoke with the Mayor and the Governor to inform them that the Federal Government has been and will be with them. at all times". "
The president's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who converted to the Orthodox Jewish faith with her husband Jared Kushner, condemned the events.
"The United States is stronger than the acts of a depraved fanatic and anti-Semite." All good Americans support the Jewish people to oppose acts of terror and share the horror, disgust and outrage at the Pittsburgh massacre. hate and evil. " . God bless those affected, "Ivanka Trump tweeted.
Vice President Pence also tweeted, "praying for the fallen," while the president's adviser, Kellyanne Conway, called the event "appalling."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also reacted by saying she was "saddened and horrified by the cowardly act of evil committed at the Synagogue of the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh." We sympathize totally with the victims and with the entire community. Jewish against fanaticism and hatred. "
First Lady Melania Trump also tweeted, saying that "violence must stop."
"My heart is broken by the news of # Pittsburgh, the violence must stop, may God bless, guide and unify the United States of America."
