President Barack Obama plans to travel to Roseburg, Oregon, on Friday to hold a private meeting with the families who lossed a loved one during the mass shooting at a community college last week.

The White House announced Monday that the president will stop in Roseburg during his already-scheduled West Coast four-day fundraising trip. Along the way, he will also attend political fundraisers in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles before returning to Washington, D.C. at the beginning of next week, reports The New York Times.

Hours after the shooting occurred last Thursday, Obama delivered an impassioned speech, slamming the U.S. Congress for failing to pass common sense gun regulation that would help protect innocent Americans from senseless acts of gun violence.

"This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction," the president said on the night of the massacre, which left 10 people dead, reports The Hill.

According to Oregon officials, the shooting occurred when the gunman opened fire at the Umpqua Community College in Douglas County Thursday morning, killing nine people and wounding seven others. The shooter, who was later identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer, then committed suicide. Some witnesses say that Mercer was targeting Christians in his attack.

During his speech, a visibly angry Obama took a jab at the National Rifle Association for advocating against gun control. He also called on voters to support elected officials that will push for gun regulation.

"So tonight, as those of us who are lucky enough to hug our kids a little closer are thinking about the families who aren't so fortunate, I'd ask the American people to think about how they can get our government to change these laws, and to save these lives and let these people grow up," he said, reported The New York Times.

"And I would particularly ask America's gun owners who are using those guns properly, safely, to hunt for sport, for protecting their families, to think about whether your views are being properly represented by the organization that suggests it is speaking for you," he added.
