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.

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

Walz sent condolences to the families of the two kids and teachers who were killed and those who were injured.

Those who died in the shooting have been identified as student Mason Schermerhorn, 14, student Christian Angulo, 14, teacher Richard Aspinwall, 39 and teacher Cristina Irimie, 53.

He added: “I for one am sick and tried of hearing about thoughts and prayers rather than actually doing something.”.

Colt was previously investigated for threatening to carry out a school shooting, however, following an investigation no further action was taken. »
