White House press secretary Sarah Sanders showed a bit of her softer, emotional side on Wednesday after a kid reporter asked her a question about school shootings.

“At my school, we recently had a lockdown drill. One thing that affects my and other students’ mental health is the worry about we or our friends could get shot at school. Specifically, could you tell me what the administration has done or will do to prevent these senseless tragedies?” Benje Choucroun, a 13-year-old reporting for Time for Kids, asked.

Sanders, who prior to that had been brusque with the adult reporters in the room, actually seemed to choke up a bit.

“As a kid, and certainly as a parent, there is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe, so I’m sorry that you feel that way,” Sanders replied, with a crack in her voice.

She continued on: “This administration takes it seriously and the school safety commission that the President convened is meeting again this week — an official meeting to discuss the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids in our schools and to make them feel safe and their parents feel good about dropping them off.”
