Tim Walz has said he’s “sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers” following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, which left four dead.

Walz, who was named as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the race for the White House in August, spoke about the Wednesday (4 September) shooting at a campaign rally at the Highmark Amphitheater in Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday.

He told his supporters: “We believe in the freedom to send our kids to school without being shot dead in the hall.”

“The news cycle moves on within a day,” he commented of the incident, adding that kids had returned to school feeling excited and “now we have four dead”.

    Gray, 14, used a riffle to kill the victims in the hallway outside his algebra class. He will be tried as an adult. His [sic]

    I hate the terrible proofreading/editing of online articles.

        I’d say it’s highly unlikely, at best. I’ll be damned if I can figure out how he managed to riffle in a deadly fashion.

        Oh, I was using it to indicate that the “His” was just left floating there in space, with no punctuation or anything. Thanks, though!
