Trump Tells Iowans to 'Get Over' School Shooting

Former President's Comments on Recent Tragedy Draw Criticism Ahead of Iowa Caucuses

Former President Donald Trump, during a campaign rally in Iowa, responded to a recent school shooting in the state by expressing condolences and then urging supporters to 'get over it' and 'move forward'.
The shooting at Perry High School left a sixth-grader dead and seven others injured, including students and school staff members.
Trump's comments broke nearly 36 hours of silence on the shooting, and were met with criticism for their perceived lack of empathy.
Other GOP rivals campaigning in the state weighed in on the matter, with several focusing on mental health and rejecting stricter gun measures.
The incident and Trump's comments come just days before the Jan. 15 Iowa caucuses.
