Colorado School Shooter, 18 yrs old, Obama Supporter & hated Christians. Accomplice 16 yr old Transgender.

Time to start suing GUN manufacturers—the Castillo family should be compensated for their incredible loss! RIP Ken Castillo! NRA this death is ON YOU!

Hero!

Rest in peace, young man, and thank you for your courage and selfless sacrifice. 💙🙏

Good thing the students Trump didn't have him deported or imprisoned.

This is one of the most saddest tragedies. nra a student sacrificed his life to safe other kids from this. Still greed on your mind? GOP do your damn job and stop this. Still greed on your mind?

A Hispanic saved a life at 18, not took one. Did you notice Donald 'racist' Trump?

He didn't deserve to die. Too many children are dying from gun violence. We obviously need strong sensible gun control measures. Maybe we will get that in 2021 if Dems can take over the Senate & Presidency.

Hero

RIP

God bless your family

😔

cant wait for trump NOT to tweet about this hero because he has a spanish name

Rest in power kid

💔🕯

on no. He will forever live on as a hero. This is just awful. We have GOT to stop this now.. Our children don't deserve to die when they're just going to school.

It’s very sad,

Notice the GOP and Mr T don’t even care abt our children’s schools if they can’t sell their teachers guns ! (RIP Kendrick 💔) Sick society.

Another hero lost

So sad..he should be praised as a hero.

💔 RIPCastillo

💔💔💔💔💔

God rest his soul. A true hero

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Amazing courage. Horrible and sad situation, amazing courage. You are in my thoughts.

Hero.

***HE DIDNT HAVE TO DIE!!!*** Gun control NOW!!!!

Please get Gun control laws changed for our children and country! Other Countries do. How to help make this change vote for only Democrats that support gun control! Wake up America the voting is in our hands. If you care Vote Blue

Is this acceptable, America? Asking our children to sacrifice themselves to save each other

💔 💔 💔

Now that is bravery. His parents to be congratulated for outstanding parenting and having had a outstanding son

Another young dies saving his fellow students from death. This must stop. R.I.P. Hero.

💕

How many shootings do we need before we do something about it New Zealand had one shooting and changed the laws. We've had dozens and dozens and ZERO changes.

💔😞

I think the notion behind the famous saying, 'And a child shall lead them...' was not meant to pertain to the context of unfettered gun violence in the nation's schools.

waiting for NRA to chime in with: 'Let kids open carry in school.'

RIP Hero

This just breaks my heart.

Should. Not. Happen. Heart break.

This young man is a HERO!

So 😢

Hero

No reason why this kid should be gone. None.

Hero!
