How heartbreaking! I have a nephew who is going off to college and is only 18. I don’t know I could go on if he was shot. It’s exciting to see your loved ones going on to achieve their dreams. Three young men killed. I wish they would tell us more about the killer. Why would someone go into a party and do this? In the “ last shooting “ they focused on the killer far too much. Now, they tell us nothing. 😢

Just another day in the states.... It will happen tomorrow and the day after and you all will send your thoughts and prayers and get on with your life, And repeat. Do something about your gun violence... What a ridiculous country...

Now a days you dont kick people out of anywhere, its works the same as when people get kicked out of bars they come back with a gun.

So she knew about the gun she could've called the police that could've made it worse calling the police would've helped so sad

8 1/2 Months to go before the End of this Year. We still have a Long Way to Go with so Many Exciting Things to Come, and so this Mayhem shall Continue! 👊

Did l miss something, where r the memorials. I firmly believe our government can aid in prevention.

This is so heartbreaking. Utterly inhuman. People acting tough, carrying a gun around. Looking for trouble. No thought, of the damage they caused, until they're in court, and going to prison, or worse. That way lies death. Throwing lives away. Their own. These are people who lost all hope. "The American Dream" was engineered, built, advertized and maintained by and for white people, and Republicans want to go backwards. When it was even worse, only now we got these 400, 000, 000
