Two kids are dead and people want to argue about using the shooter's pronouns
The mother of the shooter is to blame. The universe needs to be kinder and mental illness needs to be addressed properly.

3 weapons, shotgun rifle – Americans, you are insane!
Funded by Qatar we will never forgive them Muslims!
Only country in the ENTIRE WORLD where the most dangerous place to be is a SCHOOL, America is not the best country in the world❌

To avoid death by shooting hurricanes tornadoes lightnings floods heatwave wildfires strong earthquakes more mag 7 earthquake tsunami volcano meteor plane crash Donald Trump and Americans to convert to Islam August 28,2025.
Your not even safe in school
Well well well smh usual suspects
He took he's own life. Sacrifice, he's life, he cursed your children's. He's spirit will never rest. Good luck, this transgender was bullied by Adults in church. This is the reasons he attacks your little one's to pay back. Very Scary, he's spirit walking around inside that school church. If you think you can run away from it, even you travel different states or country, you can't get away when someone cursed you.
😢So sorry to the families😢
Children are growing up in a totally different time than what I grew up in. They don't do drop and covers like I did, when the children do drop and covers now it so they will not be killed. When I did drop and covers it was because of earthquakes, I lived in the LA area in the late 60's and early 70's. So my childhood was a whole lot different than now.
Yet can't say 🏳️⚧️
If only they didn’t take prayer out of schools! Oh wait.
Mayor emphatically said that "MORE than thoughts and prayers" are needed, but he didn't specify WHAT exactly? 🤔
Republicans have the blood of innocent children on their hands for 30+ years. They have stonewalled any opposition to sensible gun regulation awhile promoting unfettered access to guns in all of our communities. My son was involved in a mass shooting at his college last fall and it was an unbelievable terrorizing situation for him and our family. However we were the lucky ones.This is American exceptionalism. This does not happen in other countries. Republican voters please help our community and do something about this. The gun lobby owns all of your politicians please do something.
Let them be who they are:
The government must stop this mass shooting!
God please help us 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Here in the Philippines our schools have security guard and a gate. No outsiders can enter.

Why we making money with these guns to taking innocent lives . That money won’t you give peace . That cries makes this place in curse sorry to tell like this way . God is speaking through so many innocent life to stop this gun at any cost . May God bless us & America. 🥲😒🙌
Nothing new in America school shooting is common. Prayers and God bless USA love from the Philippines 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️💯🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
America is not the only country in the world with mental health problems, but it's the only country killing it's own & blaming mental health.
Lord Jesus, forgive this person who accidentally or mistakenly shot or killed these Catholic children.
Save these children in America.
Sadily this will happen again in next month I can feel it
