Many are saying that it is unfortunate tragedy that requires social change to get better in the future.
How many shootings will we have before we actually make any effort to solve the problem? How many deaths does it take? #UCCShooting

If ppl oppose #BackgroundChecks on guns, are they morally an accomplice to mass murders that it seems happen every month like #UCCShooting?

Others appear to be outraged about how quickly people are taking the information and using it as a political basis for gun control.
The #UCCShooting victim's bodies aren't even cold yet & politicians are exploiting them for gun control, and not their own guns.

That moment when America uses a tragedy in your town as political fodder to complain about gun laws and racism. #UCCShooting
