“Congress failed the victims at Santa Fe High School.”
Massachusetts officials are reacting with horror to the mass shooting at a Texas high school on Friday and calling for action at the legislative level. “Thinking and praying harder won’t stop this,” Rep. Joe Kennedy said on Twitter. “We need to act.”Authorities say between eight and 10 people were killed when at least one gunman opened fire at Santa Fe High School. Below, what Bay State politicians are saying about the deadly shooting:
Deeply saddened to hear of the deadly shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas. My heart goes out everyone impacted by this senseless, horrible violence.

My heart breaks for the students and faculty of Santa Fe High School, and the families of those who lost their lives today. One young person lost to gun violence is one too many. This cannot continue. #EnoughIsEnough

Congress failed the victims at Sante Fe High School. I am disgusted and angry that we continue to fail our kids. I grieve with the families and friends who have lost loved ones.
But thoughts and prayers must be accompanied by real solutions. Otherwise, it’s an empty platitude.

Kids in #SantaFe went to school this morning and won’t ever come home. They won’t hug their parents, or fight with their siblings, or procrastinate on homework, or play outside ever again.
They’re not statistics–they’re our kids. And they’re gone. We have to stop this.

My heart breaks as we again witness a school shooting. I am horrified that we have allowed this is happen to another set of students, families, and teachers. When will Congress stop offering silence and start acting? #neveragain #SantaFe
