US President Donald Trump took a moment while speaking to the press in Washington DC on Sunday to thank law enforcement and first responders for their efforts in ending the mass shooting spree that left 5 dead and 21 injured in Odessa and Midland Texas the day before.
"I'd like to thank law enforcement yesterday in Texas, they've been incredible. First responders, law enforcement, the police, the FBI, Governor [Greg] Abbot. Incredible the job they did. It's tragic, but they did an incredible job under the circumstances. Another very sick person, so I just want to thank everybody involved, and always, you say, as bad as it was it could have been worse, but it was certainly bad, very very sad situation," the US President said.
Trump also commented on Hurricane Dorian being upgraded to a level 5 hurricane, saying it is 'one of the biggest we have ever seen.'
"The original course was dead into Florida, now it seems to be going up towards South Carolina, toward North Carolina, Georgia is going to be hit, Alabama is going to get a piece of it, it looks like," Trump told reporters alongside Rear Admiral Peter Brown of the US Coast Guard.
Hurricane Dorian was declared a Category 5 and is one of the strongest storms ever recorded, the National Hurricane Centre reported that winds exceeding 200mph (321kph) were logged near the storm.
