Creating more bigger guns is not the answer ... there should be NO guns at all ... sadly money is more important that lives

my heart goes out for victims. may Jesus bless their souls

Another DS false flag? Those Dems sure will do anything to get our guns it seems.

😞😞

Another Trump supporter

Keep spreading the liberal hate and violence, folks

As long as educational institutions remain gun free zones, with little if any armed security, these tragedies will only continue.

Gun free zone? of course no one here will mention that. No one here will even acknowledge that most shootings take place in gun free zones, but lets talk about taking guns away cause like these gun free zones that will fix everything

ManufacturedTerrorism for GUN GRAB! Hard to enslave an armed citizenry.

Maybe it is time the government comes for people's Guns. Nothing else seems to be working ...at least it will change the gun culture that seems to have taken a death toll on innocent victims from deranged domestic terrorists.

It's shocking to know of such incidents happening regularly and the concerned authorities nor the institutions are taking any precautions in saving lives.

The problem does not converge as long as the US state power relies on the NRA.

More guns. That'll fix it. Double the guns. No, triple the guns.

Thoughts go out to the families. But seriously, I’ve lost count, this is shooting number how many in 2019?

Change your gun laws

This is so heartbreaking 💔💔 from one shooting to another last shooting was outside of San Francisco synagogue (last biggest school shooting was in Santa Fe HS in Santa Fe, TX killing 10 injuring 12 +1 perpetrator) I wish it could end, but it just keeps on going. 😩

For anyone seeking Trump’s response, I’ll save you time: “Thoughts and prayers.”

🤦🏻‍♂️😡

Rest Easy to the 2 lads & prayers to their families ! 😕 also a speedy recovery to the 4 injured victims 🤕 stay strong 💪

Thoughts and prayers to family of victims.

That is awful, when will this violence stop.

To underscore the seriousness of such senseless shooting incidents get NRA to face the press for their comments each and every time. If the American public don't get the message let's hope NRA can! My deepest condolences to the affected families.

😞😞

Prophecy states And in the last days things will go from bad to worse... And people ask why...

criminals never learn And they always Fall. 😑

Why? Thanks to TRUMP for spreading the HATE!

'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' 2nd amendment allows arms to only a well regulated Militia, but not to unregulated individuals. Please regulate

Just another day in America👍🏻

Terrorists is USA university

Beyond sick. Prepare for all the thoughts & prayers from our esteemed leader(s). F’king sick! 🤬NorthCarolina GunControlNow damn’t!!!!

Oh no

On Sat it was a shooting at a church, today it’s a university. As a society we know in our hearts we are better than this. We will not let evil win. This has to stop NOW! Enough is enough!

itneverstops

The price we pay for holding on to the second amendment. I know this is sensitive to both sides of the aisle. But since gun reform bills either aren’t effective or aren’t enforced, and we keep dealing with senseless deaths, we should be open to this discussion.

Hmmmm if they where armed ,the students would this have happened ? .. Ok take away the gun aspect .. What's stopping this killer from just driving a car and killing them that way .. Stay Thirsty

America.... the wild west!!

NRA response: “Guns don’t kill people,people kill people “ 🤦🏿‍♂️

So sad. What is wrong here?

Why aren’t you covering this live?

Fox news would have the world believe, Ilhan Omar’s Hijab was a bigger threat to American lives than the gun laws plaguing your country, RIP to those young prospects who’s lives have been cut short😡

Ugh!!

Nothing to see here people, keep moving, nothing to see here.

More thoughts and prayers

And you're not even talking about it on air?! Are we that numb to school shootings that it isn't even breaking news anymore?

This is so sad. Enough is enough of this. I live 4 miles away and shootings have to stop!!! unccharlotte

This is like a daily thing, it's not even news anymore

Will these shootings ever end? Almost daily there is one.

I’m so fkn sick of this shit... how many people need to die before the people up top acknowledge domestic terrorism and advocate for stricter regulations?

Not even a lead story anymore. We’re numb.

Almost every week now. People get a frickin grip. You can be mad without killing people. SMDH

When will it end?

Another regular day in ‘Murica

Sad!

Armed everyone

Let me guess more thoughts and prayers .....ENOUGH ALREADY

Stress, anxiety, depression, anger, rage i like how America has never been more accepting of whatever lifestyle people choose to live yet these mental, societal and behavioral disorders have grown at an equal rate. The human condition is fascinating to observe.

What worries me is that we are seeing this kind of stuff often.

Arm teachers and let the students conceal carry. They are at a college. If they are old enough to vote, they should be old enough to protect .

Another one. Geeze.

We are the gun violence Capitol of the World.

I'm starting to think the Democrats are behind some of these so they can blame guns. It's weird how all these shootings happen when they want to ramp up talking about gun control or get their name off the Headlines.

Well regulated militia exercising their second amendment rights.

realDonaldTrump

Why aren’t you covering this on your news station Concerned UNCC parent asking....

Also called “Tuesday.” Rip.

Let me guess either the suspect was for Isis or he was a white supremacist. I am begging and pleading with you to please do not haveDrPhil on any of your shows to talk about it. He’s only a waste of your time and not worth in here.

Boycott travel to/from the US. If you visit the US you are putting your life at risk no matter where you go. America is like the old Wild West on steroids with ppl shooting each other 24/7/365. Tourists from the US put your citizens in danger due to their preponderance of anger

Guns.

Here wee go again..when will we learn. How many have to die before it matters What's the number Gop?

Let’s send more “thoughts and prayers”. That will prevent more 🙄

Crazy american people, with fireguns in your hands you Will suffer this Blood scenes forever

And yet there is NO mention NO coverage of students being shot on CNN TV. Have you become that jaded to shootings?

America has a very serious illness.

Our children running away with hands in the air as armed police head to the shooting. These kids have ALWAYS known mass shootings! 20th anniversary of Columbine. This is OUR fault. Get off your butts and VOTE for pols for restrictive gun laws or just Repeal2A

It’s heartbreaking that institutions of education have become some of the most unsafe places to be at. As a professor & K-12 researcher, this breaks my heart. We can’t even focus on the work that needs to be done for our students because we’re worried about them being killed.

24 hours after isis sent a video now there is a school shooting it's not guns it's was ISIS

It’s happening again it’s heartbreaking! gunReformNow

The next Venezuela is what America will be.

When is this shit going to stop

Thoughts. Prayers. Rinse. Repeat. Something needs to change. Gun legislation, maybe?

Another day in America...another shooting it’s the norm now and it’s incredibly sad someone needs to take a stand like our prime minister Jacinda Arden did and BAN all automatic and semi-automatic weapons !!!! 🙅‍♂️

Sad

When when when it will finish devils people's

Thanks NRA

Praye rs for everyone

😥

This seems to be an every day problem! I wonder what drove us to this point tragic

Disgusted. Again. Saddened. Again STOP, THINK, LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPON!

This ain't nowhere near civilization!

The University later reported that law enforcement officials were sweeping campus buildings.

Thoughts and prayers for them! New normal for America then business as usual! SAD 😞

The new norm. Thank you Senate Republicans for sensible firearm legislation. Don’t know how you sleep at night.

Nothing right about this. Everything wrong. No reason. No words.

Just another Tuesday in America.

How many times will this have to happen before something is done? My heart breaks for the students and families of the injured.

everyday there is death in the news feels like its becoming the new norm. exercise your rights and get you one of them big boys....

When will this madness stop?!

We do not have to live like this.

your country has been doing this to people of many countries. Have some taste of your own medicine.

Enough already

More lives lost that could have been prevented. Heartbroken

What is going on?!?! My God, keep these families and comfort them. How sad...😢

Another day, another shooting. Hardly makes the news anymore. That's what our country has become. Shameful.

Unfortunately it seems like this is the new Norm and it shouldn't be this is appalling

💔😔

Another Shooting! SMH

Thanks Obama

Disgusting and heartbreaking. How many more people have to die by guns. Please have stricter gun laws and background checks.

NBD. Happens every day. 😢

What is wrong with stupid people in America?

What a safe country we live in
