'Aren't you guys tired..': Survivor questions after deadly Nashville shooting
Ashley Beasley interrupting live TV broadcast to demand more gun control after Nashville mass shooting
A survivor of last year's Highland Park parade mass attack interrupted the television coverage of a network on Monday in the aftermath of the deadly Nashville school shooting. The woman identified as an activist named Ashbey Beasley went up to the mics and camera and demanded the lawmakers pass gun control legislation while asking if the media was not tired of covering the shootings.
The Highland Park shooting took place in the US state of Illinois on July 4, 2022, and left seven people dead.Beasley said she was inTennessee on a holiday when the shooting took place.
"Aren't you guys tired of covering this?" said Beasley. "How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them? Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens. It has overtaken cars."
"I have been lobbying in DC since we survived a mass shooting in July. I have met with over 130 lawmakers. How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we still failing them?" she added.
“How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them?”
