TN governor says open carry law, Kroger shooting are 'separate issues' [View all]
On Friday, Governor Bill Lee made his first public appearance since the mass shooting in a Collierville, TN Kroger where a gunman shot 15 people.
“It’s tragic. Our hearts go out to, and our prayers go out to, the victims and the families,” said Lee.
The Tennessee governor also addressed questions on whether the state’s open-carry law played a factor in what Collierville officials have called the “most horrific event” in the town’s history.
“[The] constitutional carry bill applies to law-abiding citizens,” said Lee. “What happened yesterday was criminal activity, violent criminal gun activity, and those are separate issues.”
