Tennis star Andy Murray, a survivor of childhood gun violence in the U.K., says he "can't understand" why the U.S. fails the address repeated mass shootings. 

Murray decided to speak out this week after the shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left at least 19 children and two teachers dead. The tennis pro was a nine-year-old student at Dunblane Primary School in Scotland when a gunman killed 16 students and a teacher before turning the gun on himself.

"It's really, really upsetting, and I hope they make some changes," Murray said of the Uvalde shooting in an interview with BBC Sports Tuesday. "I think there's been over 200 mass shootings in America this year and nothing changes. I can't understand that."

And it was a kid telling exactly the same story about how she survived it."

"They were saying that they go through these drills, as young children, as seven-, eight-year-old children," he
