“Learn from what happened in Dunblane”: Andy Murray’s mum Judy reveals she shed tears over Florida school shooting

Judy Murray has told of her tears over the high school shooting in Florida, urging Donald Trump to learn from the Dunblane massacre.

 

 

Her tennis star sons Andy and Jamie attended the primary school when a gunman killed 16 pupils and a teacher.

Judy, 58, said she had hoped other shootings in the States would prompt changes to gun control laws there.

 

 

But in February, 17 children were shot dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School near Miami, Florida.

Judy said: “[I cried] when I heard about the most recent school shooting.”

 

 

Addressing the US President, she went on: “Learn from what happened in Dun­­blane. Our Government acted and there hasn’t been an incident like it since.

“In America, shootings happen on a regular basis. Trump could flick the switch and change all that.”

 

 

 

She was five when Thomas Hamilton shot her twice at the primary school, near Stirling, shattering her thigh and back. Private ownership of handguns was banned after the 1996 horror.

Mental health nurse Aimie, who was left with permanent injuries from the attack, said: “I know there are people who don’t want Trump to come to Scotland, but I do want him to come.
