Julianne Moore and Aaron Paul lead tributes to El Paso shooting victims

Julianne Moore and Aaron Paul are among the celebrities demanding action after tragic El Paso mass shooting.
On Saturday (03Aug19), 20 people were killed and more than 26 others wounded when a man armed with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire in Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall.
Police said the suspect, a 21-year-old from Dallas, was taken into custody and has been named by U.S. media as Patrick Crusius.
Julianne Moore, who is a supporter of anti-gun organisations Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety, took to Twitter after news of the terrifying shooting broke, and wrote: “This is a public health crisis. Hold your lawmakers responsible.”
“I am sick to my stomach over what has happened in El Paso today,” Riverdale star Lili Reinhart shared. “I can’t believe this is happening in my country and no one is doing anything about it. Who has to die for laws to change?”
“PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS…JUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER,” Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul tweeted.
As news of the shooting broke, Blink-182 singer and bassist Mark Hoppus told his followers on Twitter that the rock band were on lockdown in their El Paso hotel.
He later shared the news that Blink-182 had cancelled their gig in the city.
“Following today’s terrible tragedy in El Paso we are postponing our Sunday, August 4th show at the UTEP Don Haskins Arena in solidarity with the community. Please stay tuned for further updates coming soon. Sending our love to the entire community of El Paso,” the band’s Twitter account posted.
“My heart breaks for the city of El Paso. The madness never ends. It is all too much. There‘a nowhere safe from the terror of gun violence in the United States of America. We are a broken nation trapped in the darkness of our unwillingness to ask ourselves why this keeps happening,” Josh Gad sadly tweeted, while singer Khalid told his followers: “this is scary man, praying for everyone in El Paso.”
