Judy Murray, 58, hoped other shootings in the US would encourage changes to gun control laws

Judy Murray has spoken of her tears over the high school shooting in Florida - and is urging US President Donald Trump to 'learn from the Dunblane massacre'.

Her two sons, tennis stars Andy and Jamie Murray, both attended the Scottish school when a gunman killed 16 children and a teacher.

She has spoken about how she hoped that other shootings in the US would encourage changes to gun control laws.

However 17 children were gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, near Miami, Florida on February 17.

Murray, 58, said: 'I cried when I heard about the recent school shooting.

'Learn 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.'

Murray's words come as one of Dunblane's survivors Aimie Adam, 27, said she hopes to meet Trump to question him about gun laws when he comes to the UK this year.

Adam was five-years-old when Thomas Hamilton shot her twice at the primary school which shattered her back and thigh.

After the 1996 shooting, private ownership of handguns was banned.

Tennis coach Murray was sure that American gun laws would change following the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut which saw 20 children and six staff gunned down.

However, Trump praised gun rights at the annual National Rifle Association convention last week, and likened a London hospital to a 'military war zone' because of knife crime.

Murray added: 'It’s hard to believe nothing has changed in America with regard to gun laws.

'When Sandy Hook happened [the US elementary school shooting in 2012, when 26 children and staff were killed], it was so similar to Dunblane [the school shooting in Scotland in 1996 where 16 pupils were killed and Jamie and Andy were pupils at the time].

'I felt for sure that would prompt change but it didn’t. It’s hard to understand any kind of reasoning for not banning guns.'
