Safe & Sound Hillsborough Executive Director Freddy Barton commented on the incident, saying:
When incidents like this happen, it takes the wind out of our sails, and we’re wondering, how much more do we have to do to really get this message out to people, to our kids and young adults, that you don’t have to pick up firearms in response to anger or a temporary situation.
