CNN: 'I love you': Senior at Apalachee High School texts his mom after gunshots ring out

Four people are dead and 9 others injured after a gunman opened fire at a high school in Georgia. Friend, this should not be the reality that our children face going to school every day. We cannot accept constant school shootings as ‘normal’. Will you add your name to Brady’s urgent petition now and urge Congress to take action to stop school shootings and save lives? >>

I am devastated at the news that students and teachers are under attack yet again, friend.

Four people – two students and two teachers – are dead and at least nine more injured following a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA.

Brady is continuing to monitor this devastating situation and, as more details continue to emerge, one thing is absolutely certain: Our children deserve better than this constant carnage. All Americans deserve better.

We cannot accept lawmakers offering thoughts and prayers in the face of yet another tragedy. Children should be safe to learn and grow in their classrooms, instead, they are at risk every day. Because of gun violence, their number one killer.

Apalachee High School joins a list of far too many schools that have been turned into battlegrounds because our lawmakers have failed to take action in the face of tragedy. As we mourn these devastating losses in Georgia, we will not accept inaction from lawmakers who are supposed to protect us.

Friend, you’re one of our strongest grassroots activists – and that’s why I’m reaching out. We must stand together and call for critical action in the face of tragedy: Congress must stop school shootings and save lives. Will you add your name to our rapid response petition right now and demand action?

Thank you for taking action while all eyes are on this story. The first 24 hours after a mass shooting are among the most critical and we must rise up and show our commitment to ending gun violence NOW.

Kris Brown
Brady President
