Obama says US needs to address gun violence

A clearly frustrated President Barack Obama says the United States should look again at how killers get their hands on guns, after what he calls “senseless murders” at a historic black church.

“Now is the time for mourning and for healing, but let’s be clear — at some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries,” Obama said.
