(BSS/AFP) - President Joe Biden is "horrified" by the shooting of three university students of Palestinian descent in the US state of Vermont in what authorities believe was a hate crime, the White House said Monday.

"The president and the first lady were horrified," Press Secretary Karine
Jean-Pierre told reporters. "These students were taking part in a uniquely American tradition, gathering with family and loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving. They should be back in school with their classmates, not in a hospital room."
