I’m deeply saddened for the people of Sacramento today. But I’m also angry. Angry that there is more we can do to stop gun violence like this from happening in the first place. Just blocks from the Capitol, this will be a reminder of action needed to save lives. #CaLeg will act.

Around 2:30am, I got the call no elected official wants to get.

Another shooting. More lives lost. The national gun violence epidemic has hit our community - again.

I won't release any specifics until @SacPolice does.

Until then, please take care of each other

Our bus was caught in the crossfire but we sheltered in place and everyone in our touring group is ok. Thank you for everyone reaching out. A reminder to keep your loved ones extra close today. We have to do something about gun violence in this country.

Another Sunday, another shooting with mass casualties. Most Americans will look away, DON'T. NEXT TIME, IT COULD BE YOU. I am very supportive of @POTUS, however, the time is NOW for a dedicated office in the @WhiteHouse only working on gun violence.https://t.co/NWGXkYdWqq

My prayers are with the victims and families and the rest of the Sacramento community. Another senseless act of gun violence claimed 6 lives and injured numerous.

Now we must support and grieve with the families and work to end these horrific acts of violence.

This has been a terrible week for us at @HopkinsMedicine having one of our Trauma Surgeons shot.

This morning is a reminder that this Public Health Crisis decimiates communities all across America.

How many more have to die before we act!? #TheTimeIsNowhttps://t.co/eN9qnRfUXP

Devastating. Holding the victims, their families and our entire Sacramento community in our hearts this morning. ️

How many more must die, @NRA? How many, @GOPLeader @LeaderMcConnell? Shame on you. https://t.co/cwRallEPNZ

My heart breaks for Sacramento as it becomes the latest city traumatized by a horrific act of gun violence.

My prayers are with the victims and their families.

But prayer alone isn’t enough.

We must put an end to the scourge of gun violence once and for all.
