President Donald Trump pledged the "total support" of the federal government in the wake of a mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart that left multiple victims dead and many more wounded, APA reports citing USA Today.

Trump's tweet of support and sympathy were among many expressions of condolence and other emotions that federal officials shared Saturday in the hours following the massacre.

Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar abruptly ended a town hall. Beto O'Rourke choked back tears. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – once again – called for an end to mass shootings.

"Our hearts ache for the families of those who were killed & the injured," she tweeted. "Action must be taken to finally #EndGunViolence."

The shooting in El Paso follows a shooting Sunday at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festivalin California that left three dead and more wounded
