Florida shooting: Trump's 'I hear you' notes revealed in photo of meeting with school survivors

Donald Trump took notes into a meeting with survivors of the Florida school shooting and parents of children killed in the massacre, including one which reminded him to tell them: “I hear you”.

Cameras caught the US President holding his crib sheet containing five points, as he joined the grieving students in the White House state dining room.

“I hear you” was the fifth point.

Others included: ”What would you most want me to know about your experience?”; “Resources? Ideas?”; and “What can we do to help you feel safe?”

During the session Mr Trump heard from Samuel Zeif, a student who survived the massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the city of Parkland, which claimed the lives of 17 students and staff.

They were killed when a gunman opened fire with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. Nikolas Cruz, 19, has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

Mr Zeif told the president: “I don’t understand why I can still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. An AR. How is it that easy to buy this type of weapon? How do we not stop this after Columbine? After Sandy Hook?”

He was referring to the 1999 massacre in Colorado, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher and the 2012 tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, when Adam Lanza gunned down 20 young children and six staff members.
