The father of an 18-year-old who was fatally shot during the mass shooting at an Oregon community college said the Secret Service and FBI blocked him from meeting with President Obama while in town to comfort the victims’ families.
Biz Pac Review reports that the father, James Cooper, was upset after being denied access to the meeting at Roseburg High School.
“I cannot believe the president of … the whole United States has denied a grieving father the right to see what’s going on and the right to see,” the father said.
It’s unclear why Cooper was blocked access, but he was vocal about his opposition to gun control.
“All I hear is gun control, gun control… hell with gun control, that’s not the issue,” Cooper added. “The issue is we are grieving, we are hurting and he won’t see me, that’s wrong.”
