He said: "It's just sad that I heard these kids running and screaming, and you know when you see these kids' faces and how they react to things like that it makes it even worse." Dotson continued: "Kids don't deserve to be seeing and witnessing things like this, kids don't need to be around like this once you come to these events, whatever on the outside nature shouldn't even be going on here so it just hurts that this happened today."

Out of all the mass shootings, almost 30 have taken place in schools. This has provoked outrage among activists protesting the ease with which citizens can purchase guns across several states in the US. In most of these high-profile shootings, like the ones in Texas, New York and Illinois, the suspected gunmen legally bought firearms despite having known histories of violence, crime or mental illness. Pro-gun-rights activists, however, allege that the problem isn't rooted in gun laws but in the state of the mental health industry in the country. Many of them say that gun rights aren't just crucial for personal safety but also help ensure that citizens can rise against the government if the need arises.
