Sheikh was an exchange student from Pakistan and was one of the ten students killed in the school shooting in Santa Fe Texas
"People are making this into a political issue", she told The Associated Press. "This is not a political issue".
Columbine touched off a national debate over gun control laws, gun culture, and even violence in video games. Speaking at a news conference, Abbott said the suspect's vehicle will be searched once a warrant is obtained. "The disease in this case isn't the Second Amendment".
What's more, the Santa Fe school had two armed police officers and had trained extensively in active shooter protocols, so it wasn't a situation where "good guys with guns" can solve the problem.
Investigators believe Pagourtzis acted alone, a law enforcement official told CNN on Saturday. When she's able to explain her opinion to people, they tend to understand and often even agree: universal background checks, age requirements to purchase guns, a better way to keep guns away from the mentally ill.
Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, is being held on charges of capital murder and aggravated assault of a public servant in relation to the school shooting, authorities said.
He said his family lives 10 minutes from the school, where his daughter also attends, and he immediately responded to help.
Texas now leaves whether teachers can carry up to local control.
"You are already dealing with the full effects of sin in our world", he said.

Bhushan Steel hits upper circuit as Tata Steel closes deal
According to a PTI report, Bank of India (BoI) would be able to realise around Rs 1993 crore from the Tata-Bhushan Steel deal. Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas advised COC on Corporate insolvency resolution process of Bhushan Steel Limited .
Numerous aspects of the attack mirrored one of the worst school shootings in American history: the massacre at Columbine High School in April, 1999, in which two teenage boys with weapons hidden under trenchcoats killed 12 students and one teacher.
In online forums, some parents called for metal detectors in schools, while one school banned backpacks to prevent hidden weapons from slipping through.
Mr. Duncan cheered the idea, calling it "brilliant and tragically necessary". "This is not a gun law issue". "We have families that are broken apart, no fathers at home".
While we do not know what animated Pagourtzis, we do know that a mere "school shooting" did not seem enough for him.
Mr. Warner advocated better mental health counseling for troubled teenagers, ensuring parents store their firearms more carefully and "reasonable and logical restraints on gun owners".
Pagourtzis fatally shot 10 students and educators and injured 13 others early Friday in the classrooms and hallways of Santa Fe High School, according to authorities.
"Through the end of the school year, we are asking that no students wear trench coats or other heavy clothing", said Mark Henry, administrator at a school district outside of Houston. While the Los Angeles Times reported that Shana's friends "could not corroborate [her] mother's claims;" as school shootings continue to take place around the country, a pattern of violence against women on the part of the killers has emerged.
