Trump vows to 'heal the world' in wake of Georgia school shooting

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday night promised to "heal the world" and make it "better" in the wake of a fatal school shooting in Georgia.

Four people were killed and nine people were injured at a mass shooting at Apalachee High School, in Winder, a city about 45 miles northeast of Atlanta, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. A suspect, identified as 14-year-old Colt Gray, is in police custody.

Trump spoke to Fox News host Sean Hannity about the shooting during a town hall on Wednesday, where Hannity opened the night with a comment that "our prayers are with our friends in Georgia." 

Hannity then observed that security at the town hall was tighter than its ever been because of the assassination attempt on Trump in July, and asked Trump, "what is going on?" 

"It's a sick and angry world for a lot of reasons and we're going to make it better," Trump said. "We're going to heal our world. We're going to get rid of all these wars that are starting all over the place because of incompetence. We're going to make it better."

Trump previously expressed his sadness at the shooting in Georgia through a post to Truth Social, where he called the shooter a "sick and deranged monster." 

"Our hearts are with the victims and loved ones of those affected by the tragic event in Winder, GA," Trump posted. "These cherished children were taken from us far too soon by a sick and deranged monster."

The four people killed in the shooting have been identified as 14-year-old students Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo, and math teachers Richard Aspinwall and Christina Irimie, according to CNN.
