Kamala Harris has urged Americans to address the 'epidemic of gun violence' in the US following a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, which resulted in four deaths.

Speaking at a rally in New Hampshire, Harris called for an assault-weapons ban and tighter gun safety laws.

Donald Trump expressed condolences to the victims' families.

Harris also advocated for universal background checks and red flag laws to prevent at-risk individuals from accessing firearms.

The former assault weapons ban, which Joe Biden helped pass, expired in 2004 and has not been renewed.
