I can’t imagine the feeling just sitting there waiting to hear if my child is alive
No parent should ever live that my condolences goes to all Americans for such a loss 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[secretagent]

no way i will ever visit the USA again to be a "free range target"

Not old enough to buy a drink but old enough to buy an AR-15.
And Americans think armed police/security at schools is the answer😮‍💨
RIP little Angels!

I literally can’t even fathom just waiting to find out if my child was alive or not. All these news reports make me cry for these children and parents and loved ones. I think any parent can see this and know how the mere thought of something happening to their child is a pain like no other. So the fact it’s a reality for so many… oh my god. There just aren’t words. I’m not going to pretend like I can even understand how everyone is feeling and what they’re going through.

The saddest Thing is that nothing is gonna change. He bought 2 rifles ammunition and nobody was suspicious.

The thing about this, that is especially heart breaking to me. Like. It gives me chills. If children were unable to be identified, it means they were likely shot point blank in the face, which would have removed their heads. I am absolutely sickened. RIP little dudes. I'm sorry this happened to you.

😫😭 May those beautiful souls Rest In Peace. May no parent ever go through this pain of burying their own child, and those who have, wishing them strength to endure these difficult times. I am a parent and my heart is aching…cannot imagine what these parents are going through right now 😖

They should have arm security and walk though metal detectors at the front entrance in every school

So Disturbing and very sad!! 😥😭 Prayers for all of the victims families!! 🙏😥🙏😥🙏

[jacquelinenguyen]

People are utterly sick and tired of all the specious vain talk but no action to stem the tide of gun violence as usual. It's high time for all elected officials to implement a practical action through legislature instead of paying lip service to their constituents.

Sad My condolences and sympathies to the family 👼😭🕊

[ashleyzhou]

How many shootings does it take for them to do something about this?! All these poor parents and families 😭 I can’t imagine

[matokbalucas]

[mapofthesoultagme]

I am a 22 year old girl and am surprised to hear about those who are slightly younger than me shooting. RIP to all those who died

[RAVEN_SPRING_]

It’s time that all schools have police guards and checkpoints, it’s time for change guns can’t be given to people like this

[debbiel]

Gun Laws need to be abolished! Full stop!! There is no such thing here in Australia, Ive never seen a civilian has a gun, let alone an 18 yrs old kid!
RIP beautiful Angels 🙏🏼😢❤️

[matfudge]

America on repeat not learning from the past. RIP lost souls.

[Provocateur]

You are a sitting duck in a gun-free zone.

[saqgoat]

[godandtodd]
