Following the May 6th mass shooting at a Texas mall, Kyler Murray took to Twitter after a terrible person took eight lives at a popular outlet mall in Allen.
Murray, who attended high school in Allen, Texas, said “This is sickening,” Murray said. “Prayers to the mass shooting victims in Allen, Texas. If there is any way I can help those affected by this tragedy please let me know. When is this shit gonna stop?”
