Parkland dad slams Biden: 'Don't use my daughter's death to advance your political agenda'
Fox News
Ryan Petty, whose daughter was murdered in the Parkland, Florida, shooting, slammed President Biden for using the fifth anniversary of the massacre to push gun control measures.
Petty then pasted a link to an official report submitted to the governor and state legislature on what happened during the shooting. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Petty's comments were in response to a tweet and accompanying video of Biden on Tuesday marking the fifth anniversary of the 2018 mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla, where 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire and murdered 14 students and three staff members. One of the students killed was Petty's daughter, Alaina Petty.
"Five years ago, a gunman committed an act of horror at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School," Biden tweeted. "Today, we mourn the 17 loved ones lost. And pray for the countless loved ones left behind. For the lives lost and the lives we can save, we must ban assault weapons."
