"It's devastating that such a beautiful celebration was marred by senseless violence yet again," Rev. Al Sharpton, who had been at the parade earlier in the day with his grandson, said. "We must come together to end the cycle of gun violence in our communities." This highlights a shared sentiment of sadness over violence interrupting joyful communal events and emphasizes the need for collective action against gun violence.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed his sorrow, stating, "I'm pained and troubled by the horrible shooting that took place as we were marching together at the West Indian Day Festival and Parade in Brooklyn. Thank you to our 1st responders on the scene. I pray for everyone affected. We must keep working to end gun violence in America." His remarks reflect a call for continued efforts to tackle gun violence following tragedies.
