US President Donald Trump has expressed support for arming teachers and ending gun-free zones near schools at a White House event on gun violence.

He floated the proposal as survivors of last week's Florida school shooting implored him to make sure it never happens again.

The Republican president also backed calls for improved background checks for gun buyers.

Other survivors meanwhile lobbied Florida lawmakers on gun control.
