In a recent vice presidential debate, Governor Tim Walz revealed that his son, Gus, witnessed a shooting at a community center in St. Paul. This comment came amid a tense exchange with his opponent, JD Vance, where Walz controversially stated he had 'become friends with school shooters,' leading to significant backlash and mockery. Critics, including Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, described his comments as mind-blowing and insane. Despite the uproar, there were poignant moments highlighted by the coach of Walz's son, who praised Gus for his bravery in helping protect other kids during the incident. The debate also touched on broader topics of gun control and violence in schools, with both candidates presenting differing views on how to improve security in educational institutions.
