[@KathySparkle1]

Thank goodness the family is still together, stronger. Blessings to all of for your love, bravery and compassion

[@CruceEntertainment]

I’m always thinking about how they are doing, and hope they continue to heal physically and emotionally. Prayers to them.

[@susanriley6414]

God bless all of you.

One person's heinous actions changed so many families. Unbelievable...

I hope that while she's waiting for someday she gives her son the opportunity to live a full and exciting life. Like she said, science is amazing! There is so much out there that he can still do. Being in chair doesn't mean that he cannot play sports, ski, even zipline if he wants to. My cousin was paralyzed in a car accident at 6 years old and is an amazing break dancer. Not having the use of his legs hasn't held him back a bit. There is very little out there that he can't do. I hope that there will one day be a cure available for those who want it, but in the meantime there are plenty of adaptive options out there.

AR Style? Does it matter? Murder is illegal.

[@carloscarranco4327]

Same old song. Our thoughts are with the victims blabla. What you americans should add to that old song is "and know that we will never let go of our guns cos you love your guns more then you live ur kids" American beauty. Live by the gun. Die by the gun

[@HeritageSoftail]

Drama queen much?

[@R-M18]

Better than to die with your government boot on your neck and not be able to be a man and protect his family

[@R-M18]

[@williamtrammel2619]

When will the madness end . No one should ever go through this pain.

[@Djsj1313]

Funny how the media hasn’t even talked about the shooter or the case but they talked about uvalde and that shooter for a whole year. Oh and hey nbc the shooter didn’t use an ar it was a ruger pc carbine 9mm folding rifle nothing close to an ar! Which was his uncles and he also had a rifle in a city with STRICT gun control. So nbc what’s up with the Suspect and his trial??

[@CoLa411]

I was on this families side until they mentioned suing the gun manufacturers. Would you sue a vehicle manufacturer for a person driving drunk? Doesn’t make much sense does it? I d i o t s!

[@AmazingJohnny]

May God protect America 🙏🇺🇲🦅 !

[@TheVoiceOfReazun]

And I believe that GOD can give that beautiful boy a miracle. Miracles are still real, the Bible says NOTHING IS impossible WITH GOD. Believe GOD for it. Don’t focus on how long it will take but that it is POSSIBLE and at any given moment.🙏🏽

[@scottlalexander510]

If this boy does walk again it won't be because of "God" it will be advancements in medicine created by humans.

[@nabestydoah-ht6xx]

OMg my friend name Kelly was there

[@nancydavis3582]

Lord help us,there is shaking in the world everything that can move will move things person let us pray,ask God to send archangels to help us,let us pray,laws being changes,what about guns control Washington get some guns law,you are making it hard for the poor that is struggling, make it hard concerning guns,pray for the nation's we need it

[@jimdoe3288]

Why no stories of victims from minority shooters. Happens daily ?

[@madreep]

Probably because the majority of mass shooters are White men 🙄
