John Legend criticises 'death cult' US gun laws after Texas shooting | ITV News

"Singer-songwriter John Legend criticised America's ""death cult"" gun laws and described how his children practiced active shooter drills in case someone walked into school with a weapon.

Legend, 43, said the US was failing to act after a string of deadly tragedies in a country where the gun lobby has money and power to influence politics.

On Tuesday, a mass shooting at a Texas primary school killed 19 children and two adults, including a teacher.

The suspect was 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who police have described as ""an evil person"" with a ""complete disregard for human life."""
