Omg, just another day, another mass shooting ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I mean, can't we all just get along... and not shoot each other? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But seriously, this is getting old, fam. Like, what's the deal with guns in the US? It's like, you can buy a gun at 18 but can't vote till you're 25 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Priorities, people! ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Anyway, I hope the students at Kentucky State University are doing okay after this incident. And to the suspect, just chill, dude, you won't be getting a scholarship anytime soon ๐Ÿ˜œ. The university is gonna do its thing and support the students, so let's all just take a deep breath and try to stay safe out there ๐Ÿ‘.
 
๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ’€ Why did it have to be Tuesday? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Can't they all just stay in bed ๐Ÿ˜ด?! ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป Gun violence is out of control and we need to do something about it ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ฅ Why can't universities make their campuses gun-free zones already? ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿšซ It's time for some serious action ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ช! ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ผ We need more resources and support for mental health services ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’•... not more senseless shootings ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€
 
๐Ÿ˜ฑ this is just getting out of hand... like what's happening to our youth? ๐Ÿค• one minute they're supposed to be learning and growing, next minute they're in the middle of a gunfight ๐Ÿšซ and it's not even about the classwork or the grades, it's about who gets access to a gun and who doesn't. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ and now Kentucky State University is on lockdown, students can't just walk around campus like they own the place... what's next? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ and all these schools just starting to take security measures, but we all know that won't solve anything... it's time for a real conversation about gun control ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ.
 
man... another crazy incident like this gotta happen ๐Ÿคฏ. think about it, how many more people do we need to lose before somethin' changes? we cant just keep pretendin' that these shootings rnt gonna happen again & again. its not just bout the victims, its bout the families who r goin thru hell... and what r we really doin to stop this? universities tryin to beef up security, but how much is that really gonna help? we need more than just locks & cameras... we need real change ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
its like super sad news ๐Ÿค•... u know how they say americas got a big problem with guns & its like not even a week goes by without another shooting incident or something... and kentucky state university is just the latest example of that. i mean, colleges r supposed to be safe spaces for students but now its like u cant feel secure walkin around campus ๐Ÿค”

i think universities need to step up their security game & do more to prevent these types of incidents from happenin in the first place... like implementing stricter gun control laws or somethin ๐Ÿšซ. also, u gotta wonder if theres a connection between gun violence & mental health issues... its like the media always talks about the shooters bein mentally unstable or somethin ๐Ÿคฏ

anywayz, my thoughts r with the families of the victims & the students who had to go thru this traumatic experience ๐Ÿ˜ž. kentucky state university should def take steps to support their students during this difficult time ๐Ÿ’”
 
I'm so bummed to hear about this ๐Ÿ˜ž. A shooting incident like this is totally unacceptable and it's heartbreaking that one life was lost and another person is fighting for their survival. It's crazy how these things keep happening in the US, especially on university campuses. I think it's really good that Kentucky State University is being super supportive of its students right now ๐Ÿค—. We need to make sure everyone feels safe and supported, you know? The authorities should definitely look into why this happened and make sure the suspect gets justice ๐Ÿ’ฏ. It's also a reminder for us all to be mindful of our actions and their potential impact on others... sad that it has to come down to something like this ๐Ÿค•.
 
I donโ€™t usually comment but... this is really sad news ๐Ÿค• I feel so bad for the student who got shot and now his friends are all worried sick about him. It's crazy how something like this can happen at a place where you're supposed to be safe, you know? College campuses should definitely be looking into ways to increase security measures to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. I'm just glad the cops were able to catch the person who did it and now he's in custody ๐Ÿ˜’
 
just when u think things can't get any crazy... another mass shooting ๐Ÿค• at a university in kentucky and it's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜”. we need to talk about the fact that these tragedies keep happening and no one seems to know why ๐Ÿค”. is it the guns, the mental health, or something else entirely? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ either way, something needs to change... and fast ๐Ÿ’ฅ.
 
MAN!!! SUCH SAD NEWS!!! MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY OF THE VICTIM AND THE STUDENT WHO'S IN CRITICAL CONDITION ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜”. IT JUST GETS CRAZY IN AMERICA WITH ALL THESE GUN VIOLENCE INCIDENTS HAPPENING ON CAMPUS. UGH, WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE A SAFE PLACE FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TO LEARN AND GROW WITHOUT FEAR OF BEING SHOT ??? ๐Ÿคฏ IT'S LIKE, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE LOSES THEIR LIFE!!!
 
Ugh, can't believe this is happening again ๐Ÿค•... like, another student lost their life due to gun violence and it's just not fair. I'm all for universities taking steps to increase security, but shouldn't we be doing more to prevent these incidents from happening in the first place? ๐Ÿค” It feels like every time something happens, everyone's like "oh no, let's do more background checks"... but what about addressing the root causes of gun violence? ๐Ÿ’ก I'm not saying it's easy or that there are simple answers, but can't we at least try to have a conversation about it without just focusing on quick fixes? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Anyway, I hope the students and staff at Kentucky State University are doing okay after this tragic incident... ๐Ÿ™
