A shooting at a movie theater in Louisiana on Thursday night has left three people — including the shooter — dead and nine others injured. It was a devastating incident that left the country struggling for answers.
Celebrities took to Twitter to give instant — sometimes impassioned — reactions to the incident to their millions of followers.
My heart is broken and all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Louisiana.
