In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., reacted to the shooting, saying he did not “think that there’s any pain deeper than when nature is violently reversed, and rather than children burying their parents, the parent has to bury the child.”

Warnock added that "we have to pray not only with our lips, but with our action."

"Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence, year after year, decade after decade, in random places on our college and school campuses without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of more repair," he said.
