Chris Paul on Santa Fe, Texas HS Shooting: 'We Got to Do Something About It'
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul offered his condolences to those affected by Friday's deadly high school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.
"First and foremost aside from the playoffs that's going on, which is minor compared to what's taken place down in Santa Fe," Paul told reporters Friday. "Our prayers go out to the victims and the families having to deal with that situation. We have a lot of fan support there, and those people come out and support us night in and night out, so this is very minor compared to what those people are dealing with.
"It's scary that that's becoming the norm here," he added. "We got to do something about it because I can't imagine something like that taking place with my kids."
According to CNN's Jason Hanna, Dakin Andone and Keith Allen, 10 people were killed in the shooting at Santa Fe High School. Law enforcement sources told CNN's Jake Tapper nine of the 10 victims were students; the other was a teacher.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed two suspects were detained, and both are believed to be students. There have now been 22 school shootings in the United States since the start of 2018.
