Ted Cruz Quickly Offers Throughts and Prayers After Children Are Killed in Texas School Shooting

After the Sandy Hook shooting, one of the most horrific events in American history, Republican politicians refused to do anything about the scourge of gun violence. As a result, mass shootings at schools have continued to be a regular feature of American life.

The latest school shooting occurred Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas. At this moment, 2 children are dead and 13 more have been sent to the hospital. Ted Cruz, who has ferociously fought against gun laws, was quick to offer his thoughts and prayers.

CNN’s Omar Jimenez reports, “Two are dead, over a dozen injured, after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas a spokesperson from Uvalde Memorial Hospital tells CNN. The hospital’s received 13 children at their facility who were being treated for varying injuries. Suspect is in custody.”

We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.”
