Your #ThoughtsAndPrayers didn't work after Columbine, after Virginia Tech, after Umpqua, after Sandy Hook, after Oak Creek, after Charleston, after Aurora, after Isla Vista, after Parkland... You offer empty thoughts & hollow prayers while our kids die needlessly to gun violence

This is amazing but the thought that 1 group of high school students is writing this to another group of high school students while we adults have done nothing is infuriating. We must demand action. And gun reform & mental health are not mutually exclusive. We need change...NOW! https://t.co/ohy0zfshOI

Along with the Houston Rockets & Landry’s family, I am heartbroken for these innocent lives that were lost in Santa Fe today. My roots are in Galveston & we have many employees, friends & family in Galveston County which includes Santa Fe. There are just no words. pic.twitter.com/j9wildtiqH

Prayers Up for Santa Fe 🙏🏽

Every day that we fail to act on gun violence, we are failing our children. This should be a day for soul searching across America - and that soul searching should be matched with legislating to begin dealing with this national shame.

It is our moral obligation to protect the vulnerable. The adults, the politicians, are responsible for the safety of children. @GabbyGiffords and I are devastated for the Santa Fe community. I lived in that area for over 15 years. It's just 10 miles from the Johnson Space Center.

— Mark Kelly (@ShuttleCDRKelly) May 18, 2018

My heart is broken and my prayers are with the students, parents, faculty and first responders at Santa Fe High School. The work of the Federal Commission on School Safety remains urgent.

Santa Fe High School student: "As soon as the alarms went off, everybody started running outside -- and next thing you know...you hear 'boom, boom, boom.' And I just ran as fast as I could to the nearest forest, so I could hide and called my mom." https://t.co/RKzmCQIVNi pic.twitter.com/eaNWF0uoDN

Santa Fe High, you didn’t deserve this. You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you. You deserve more than Thoughts and Prayers, and after supporting us by walking out we will be there to support you by raising up your voices.
