My heart goes out to the family and friends impacted by this event. I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Horrible

Can you not say anything worthwhile, this is becoming most annoying. He may be the most hated in your opinion but usually the most hated is because they get things accomplished

Philippines is a place to be .. iloilo city

So what's the solution? People screaming we need more laws..... well what are they.

😥😢😭

Heartbreaking tragedy. I'm sending love and strong hugs to every members of each families to their close friends,school mates and to the teaching staff and administrators. Sending healing energy to the community at large.🙏🙏🙏

Suddenly the shooting in Buffalo by another 18 yr old is all but forgotten. And this is how the gun lobbyists hold on to their guns. Just like Sandy Hook, there will be a lot of talk, meetings and media coverage, but that's all.

So sad, my condolences to all the family, staff and the wee children, may god bless you, help you through this senseless tragedy.

No more guns!!!!

Bad PARENTING! mixed with mind numbing, desensitizing shooting, stabbing, clubbing, raping, disgusting video games, online game social interactions, online videos, and movies. When children are exposed to this garbage for hours of being programmed society should expect monsters.

Canada has tons of gun control. Didnt stop the guy in nova scotia from hunting a whole town for a week....

I keep getting differant numbers last time was 3 teachers

My heart and prayers go out to those families. As a mother I can't imagine getting that call a school should be safe.

Heart breaking !! My condolences to all families. Need to do something with hun Laws.

😢

I guess you have to be stricter wit gun bylaws may be police Dogs security G P S monitors in schools door bells hooked up to intercom maybe tv monitors to see who is going in out on call security in s my opinion to keep children and adults safe with plan and with a weapon to u

Why would you allow a 18yo to buy a gun, let alone 2? This right here, America failed as a nation. Im hoping for a stricter gun laws and pls, invest in mental health.

It is the type of guns available to purchase and own legally in the US. AR15’s and these kind of destructive weapons are only meant for slaughter and totally unnecessary to own.

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Freedom is not for shooting. What a crazy country!

Only in America.... .

Heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the innocent victims. No legislation that may come from this is worth the price. President Biden, step up, step down, just take a step toward solving an issue that is uniquely American.

This week's shooting. It must be entertainment for Fox News.

God bless the families of the lost souls, may your broken hearts find strength together! Please everyone pray for healing, peace and a better tomorrow!

Lol just Muricans doing Murican things

Today is a good day to remember that our SaskParty likes guns so much that they are setting up a provincial firearms officer at increased expense to our province, even though they are the party of less government. And, their mascots sit silent. SaskParty JohnGormleyShow

Sadly nothing will change for US. Guns rule over everything

People want to blame this on guns, and while that's a part of the problem, there is so much more wrong too. Lack of education, lack of support for mental illness, poverty. US is broken, and it's kinda sad.

This tragedy is unfolding in US and Canada everyday is due to dishonest political leaders who are not taking any action to ban weapon. Mr. Truduea here in Canada promised this thing when he came to power. But nothing happened in his last 7 years rule.Barack Obama only gave speech

What can we say about the warmongers in the south of us. There is no hope too stupid to learn am so sorry but really give each American a nuke at birth and let them go at it..

GunReformNow

The US is bound and determined to obliterate itself. It’s clear no amount of child killing will get them the rethink the second amendment - an AMENDMENT - not part of the original deal! There have been 33 amendments! One more to save lives of millions SHOULD be a no-brainer!

I cannot comprehend a Country that is more worried about losing their guns than losing their children.

Beware Mr. PM JustinTrudeau marcomendicino, take immediate preventive measures, we fear for the safety of our children from the rampant violence. Our hearts are with all the victims & families in Texas, we don't want the same horrific thing to happen to our children in🇨🇦.

Uh oh he’s not white

So sadness thire is not government and not laws

Horror. What more can it be than utter horror.

About time someone stepped up to change gun laws in the States to save children from these senseless murders!!!

Texas,USA Trump love that state. Disgusting!!

In the States civilians say, 'we have a right to bear arms'. What about children and parents who have a right to send their children to school without the fear that their kids may not come home. The United States is the only country where this happens continuously, WHY

The pro life people are going to pissed that you are hurting the babies …. Are theses babies to old for them

Awwww. Thoughts and prayers will help.

I did not realize it is elementary school. I do not know what to say about USA

America is not okay

cnnbrk how many kids injured and how are they doing

United States of Amurderca 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

10 years ago was Sandy Hook shooting was 20 children died, these will change nothing

OMG o

is this what you get from a republicans/conservative MAGA type government in Texas? This is heartbreaking and disgusting all at the same time people deserve so much better than this..My sympathy and prayers go out to the families 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Americans” I have a right to carry a gun”. Women don’t have a right over their own body!” How the hell does that make sense!

Haven't been to the US since 2006. No plans to ever go again.

Way to go America… don’t you dare have an abortion but godless you can’t take away my right to bare arms!!! Your true Colors are showing. So glad I’m Canadian!!

What is going on there in US?

Hey America…DO BETTER…American lives only matter if they’re fetuses!

The only way I can see this coming to an end is to publicly take the perpetrator apart on the spot inhumanely each time. That's the only way... if they fear the consequences.

The answer to bad guys with guns is more good guys with more guns. All schools should have armed guards and/or each teacher should have a sidearm and be trained to use it.

Maga celebrates, guns have more rights than women and children

14 children and 1 teacher killed. 18 year old shooter dead. He also killed his grandmother before heading to the school. He used a hand gun.

Why does this happen.

Update: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said 14 students and a teacher were killed in the shooting in Uvalde, about 135 kilometres west of San Antonio.

Absolutely sickening.

Now 14 dead! We have animals running around with firearms! Senseless deaths! Children!!

Clearly humans can’t have guns. Why does a civilian need one?

Shooter is dead CBC

A frickin elementary school - !? Clearly and sadly, if nothing meaningfully changes to dramatically curtail gun use following this incident, then the situation quite literally never will.

How tragic!

A normal day in the US.

Look my naked photo ❤️😘

Wow wow wow

Breaking: no crimes were committed in Canada because were so obsessed with the states

Texas governor: 15 killed in school shooting; gunman deadTexas Gov. Greg Abbott says 15 people were killed in a shooting Tuesday at an elementary school. The suspected shooter, an 18-year-old man, also died and was believed to be killed by responding officers Ya but what skin color was the shooter, because if I don't know I won't know how to react, but I'm guessing it wasn't a white man or it would be in the headline 15 dead. Armed security, Bullet proof windows, doors, metal detectors and school is locked when in session. What more can be done to prevent this kind of devastating tragedy? Is this too much to ask for tax dollars to be spent on President Biden?
