I knew her, trained with her, saved lives with her and tonight, tried to save her life. Tonight, I broke down in front of my coworkers when we lost her, and tonight I held hands with her mother in prayer. Tonight, we lost a beautiful, resilient, passionate doc. Keep singing, TO.pic.twitter.com/NLQpX1rZIn

@NRA and its members are not the problem. You live in a city with the strictest gun laws and the highest gun violence. Fix your leaders and deal with the mental health and domestic violence problem your city has. -
EVERY COUNTRY HAS MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE. We are the only ones with mass firearm massacres. Gun laws have to be comprehensive, not city-to-city. Canada has had 15 mass shootings: since 1885!!! and we’re closing in on 400 this year. Australia. On and on.

With a standing army of over 2 million and bases around the world, the 2nd amendment is an anachronism at best and an excuse at worst. Ban and confiscate assault weapons and high capacity magazines. That's the solution. Period.
-
But it really has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment because, like everything else, guns are big business and it all comes down to greed.https://twitter.com/joeyandmosh/status/1030846034187087873?s=21 …

The UK has seen an increase in knife assault. Are you going to ban knives now? I live 30 minutes from a major city. If I need a cop I have almost a 45 minute wait till they get the. Gun laws don't help me not die if someone tried to kill me.

We have mass shootings. Look at Vegas. Explain to me how one man kills 58 and injures 851 with a knife and we’ll talk.

This latest shooting-at MercyHospital illustrates once again why
#ThisIsOURLane for so many medical professionals. The same people who were just dodging bullets were immediately trying to repair the bodies damaged by them.#NoRA@NRA - 2 more replies

Thinking of her, of the UIC EM community, and of all her friends, family, and colleagues. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.
-
I have nothing to add to that. I am choking back tears.

This is devastating news and I didn’t even know that woman. This senseless killing must stop!!! My heart breaks for her colleagues and her family.
-
It will stop when we vote out these corrupt politicians who are in the pockets of the gun lobby’s & we vote in Congress men/women, senators, & presidents who care more about the ppl instead of the money that’s going into their pockets.

The
@NRA & gun companies love mass shootings because every time one of them happens gun sales sky rockets which means more money for them to spend on politicians to do their bidding up in Washington. When we vote those type of ppl out these killings will stop.
