Madonna expressed her heartbreak and anger over the Texas shooting

"The shooter posted countless warnings on IG and facebook announcing his plans to shoot. His grandmother and students in a school. No one noticed!! No one stopped him. How is this possible?" she stated with anger.

Madonna continued: "The NRA refuses to change its position and legislation cannot get one bill passed that requires tougher firearm safety laws. In spite of the fact that there have been more gun deaths in America than there are days in this year. How is this possible???
