Following a tragic school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas on Friday morning (May 18), Khalid, Fifth Harmony and more have taken to social media to offer their condolences and call for gun reform.
The incident occurred at Santa Fe High School, located in a town 30 miles southeast of Houston. While details are still being investigated, reports to local news affiliates state that a gunman entered an art school classroom at the school and opened fire; at least eight fatalities have been reported.
Prayers, condolences and support for the Santa Fe community have flocked in — with a number of celebrities asking, “How many more?”

Instead of our thoughts and prayers being for kids on their way to college, we once again have to do it for lives that DID NOT have to be lost in Santa Fe Texas…–

RIP to those poor kids at Santa Fe High School… why do guns even exist man it’s so sad…. all they cause is death and destruction, and nobody in the US government seems to care that there’s already been over 20 school shootings this year. How long can you turn a blind eye?

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.
