On Sunday, the U.S. suffered another devastating act of gun violence. A shooter, unofficially named as Devin Kelley, is said to have killed at least 26 people, including children, whilst they attended a service at the Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

The small community is incredibly shaken from the deadly and unfathomable event. And its impact is being felt far and wide, given that just over a month ago 58 people were killed and more than 500 injured by gunman Stephen Paddock at a concert in Las Vegas in the deadliest mass shooting in US modern history.

An outpouring of grief, shock and love has come from many celebrities and politicians on social media, including Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau.

They Tweeted their condolences and prayed for the small town.

Some public figures also used their message to implore Government officials in the US to take this opportunity to look at gun control laws.

Hopefully these messages will not be seen as divisive whilst the country joins together to heal.
