President Donald Trump denounced two mass shootings in Ohio and Texas on Sunday, saying, "Hate has no place in our country."
Addressing reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, Trump said that "we're going to take care" of the problem. He said he's been speaking to the attorney general, FBI director and members of Congress and will be making an additional statement Monday.
Trump pointed to a mental illness problem in the U.S., calling the shooters "really very seriously mentally ill."
He says the problem of shootings has been going on "for years and years" and "we have to get it stopped."
The shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend left at least 29 people dead.
