DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Dayton, Ohio Mayor Nan Whaley is questioning whether President Donald Trump’s visit to her city on Wednesday will help following the weekend mass shooting that left nine people dead. Whaley says, “I can only hope that as president of the United States that he’s coming here because he wants to add value to our community and he recognizes that that’s what our community needs.” Trump will also visit El Paso, Texas, where a weekend shooting killed 22 people.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The sites of the recent mass shootings in Ohio and Texas are preparing for a presidential visit.
