VIDEO: Father of shooting victim interrupts Biden

(NBC) - The father of one of the teens killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting interrupted President Joe Biden at a White House event Monday that was meant to celebrate a new law aimed at reducing gun violence.

Manuel Oliver lost his 17-year-old son Joaquin in the Parkland shooting in which 17 people were killed.

He was one of several survivors and family members at the White House event.

Oliver interjected as Biden was talking about the bill.

Oliver's spokesperson, J.P. Hervis told NBC News that Oliver never thought the event should be a celebration and that it would allow Republicans to claim they took action to address gun violence and avoid additional change.

Ahead of the White House event, Oliver tweeted, "The word celebration has no space in a society that saw 19 kids massacred just a month ago."
