As many were taking to social media to vent their frustrations, LeBron James also shared his thoughts and prayers.

“My thoughts and prayers goes out to the families of love one’s loss & injured at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX!” James tweeted. “Like when is enough enough man!!! These are kids and we keep putting them in harm’s way at school. Like seriously “AT SCHOOL” where it’s supposed to be the safest!”

While LeBron James didn’t specify what kind of “change” he thinks needs to occur in order for our kids to be more safe at school in the future, he’s likely alluding to stricter gun laws across the country.

Throughout his career, LeBron hasn’t been afraid to share his political takes, even taking on former president Donald Trump on several occasions, so it’s no surprise he immediately voiced his concerns after this horribly tragic shooting.

Just a terrible day for our country…
