On Friday, President Biden considers the recent incidents of the mass shooting a ”national embarrassment,” hours later he directed flags to be lowered to half-staff in the wake of the recent mass shooting incidents at an Indianapolis FedEx facility that have taken the lives of at least 8 Americans.

President Biden continued that it is a national embarrassment and it should be stopped.
