Lady Gaga, John Legend & Cardi B Show Support to Mass Shooting Victims

Following the mass shooting incidents in Texas and Ohio, celebrities have expressed their grief, anger and support for the tragedy victims both online and on-ground.

A mass shooting by a lone gunman at El Paso, Texas left 22 people dead at the local Walmart store on August 3. The shooter has since surrendered. Less than a day later, a gunman fired a shooting massacre that killed nine people outside a bar at a downtown entertainment spot in Dayton, Ohio.

The Texas incident has ignited massive fear over the Hispanic population after learning that the El Paso gunman was allegedly driven by a racist manifesto previously posted on Facebook. El Paso is a heavily Hispanic-populated area.
Celebrities have since started raising their voices about gun laws and ideological

Renowned musician John Legend personally visited Oregon District in Ohio to extend his support to the population affected by the tragedy. He also shared a few photos from his visit on Twitter.

Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley thanked the “All of Me” singer.

“Such a big thank you to Springfield native @ johnlegend for coming to shop in the Oregon District and talk about sensible gun reforms. # DaytonStrong,” she wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga is partnering with DonorsChoose.org and Born This Way Foundation in funding 162 classrooms three incident sites: 14 classrooms in Dayton, 23 classrooms in Gilroy and 123 classrooms in El Paso.

“My heart goes out to those who were taken from us too soon and to their families, loved ones, and communities who are left to grieve. Everyone has the right to laws that make them feel safe in their communities,” she wrote on Facebook.

“In this moment, I want to channel my confusion, frustration, and fury into hope. Hope that we are there for each other and for ourselves,” she said.

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah also reacted to the incident during the show and mentioned the lack of implemented laws and existing systems that make gun ownership strictly regulated in the U.S.

Rapper Cardi B snapped at Donald Trump on Twitter as she quoted one of his tweets about shootings.

“What are you going to do to control some of your racist supporters?” she demanded.

She also dealt with a Twitter fan who suggested that speaking about the issue is “out of her scope.”
