Nashville school shooting prompts shouting match between congressmen

Voices raised as Democrat Jamal Bowman takes issue with proposal by Republican Thomas Massie to arm teachers

Amid continuing national grief and anger over the Nashville elementary school shooting, in which three children and three adults were killed, two members of the US House of Representatives got into a shouting match outside the chamber on Wednesday.

While speaking to reporters, Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat from New York and a former school principal, called Republicans “gutless” for refusing to support meaningful gun control reforms.
