President Donald Trump called a mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart that left 20 victims dead and many more wounded "an act of cowardice" Saturday evening.
"Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice," he tweeted. "I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people."
In an earlier tweet Saturday, Trump pledged the "total support" of the federal government in the wake of the mass shooting.
Barely 13 hours later, the President was sending another condolence message to the city of Dayton Ohio where a lone shooter opened fire on a bar leaving 9 people dead in his wake.
The total of dead victims from both tragedies is now 29.
