Joe Biden lamented “too much violence, too much fear, too much grief” ahead of a visit to Uvalde, the scene of the latest US mass shooting. The US president and first lady, Jill Biden, will travel to the small southern Texas city five days after it was plunged into horror when an 18-year-old with a military-style rifle attacked an elementary school. Biden spoke about the tragedy during a commencement speech he gave  at the University of Delaware, his alma mater. He used his speech to encourage Americans to 'stand stronger' in the face of 'evil'.
