Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) appeared on CNN within an hour of shots being fired in Philadelphia, suggesting laws she’s proposed would have stopped the shooting.

Asked for her reaction to the shooting, which started at about 4:30 p.m. ET, Harris said at approximately 5:26 p.m. ET: “When will it stop, right? Part of my focus on what we need to do around smart gun safety laws is recognize we have to have more enforcement around gun dealers.”
