You know what is truly horrible?
The word unprecedented cannot be used in these situations.
A 5 year old. 😢
Condolences to all who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.

Imagine having laws where you can easily access guns, but none of the good guys have any when they need it most and instead make it easy for the bad guys to get their hands on them. They will never learn unfortunately.

America: Is literally the only country with daily mass shootings.

American Politicians: THERE'S JUST NO WAY THIS CAN BE AVOIDED!

love how some kids run out crying and others are smiling like its another day at the office

They should start reporting when there ISN´T a mass shooting.

[northernleigonare]

Are mass shootings in America even classed as terrorism?

[AxelWerner]

I can see it now. MORE GUNS really make things more safe. I feel like these outlets should hand out guns to every customer at the door. Won't get any more safe then.

How did the gun get in the mall? Did it have a human accomplice?

Fox News said in their latest segment that weed or fatherlessness could be the problem…

How many times has this happened this year alone in your country ...it seems all I have heard lately .

[cdau]

Americans never seem to learn, no matter how many times this happens.

[BraveCounsel]

It would all be fine if the public just had more guns!

You can’t go to the Mall or the supermarket or to school or to see a parade in America 🇺🇸. It’s so sad our country is so violent.

[observeut]

14508 people now dead due to mass shootings in first 5 months of this year

[ZenshiOff]

Maybe they’ll ban guns soon. There’s a reason this rarely happens in the UK.

[shantesummers]

This seems like a daily occurrence in America now, what the heck?!

[aliray]

The worst thing is these people didn’t deserve this, the shooters always go for innocent people. It’s the most cowardly disgraceful thing to do. Utterly reprehensible behaviour. Good work to the officers.

[hugodrax]

Weekly occurrence now. The US needs to sort itself out asap.

[inezbettyjames]

Goshh..american should do something with the gun laws & policy
