Country Stars Speak Out After Florida School Shooting

Country is using its voice to incite change.

Following the shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Wednesday (Feb. 14) in Parkland, Florida, a slew of country artists have taken to social media to share their reactions.

Cam tweeted for her Twitter followers to “get upset.” “This is not the America we are capable of,” the “Diane” singer added, responding to a screenshot from a phone of a parent engaged with a 14-year-old son on lockdown during the shooting.

Jennifer Nettles chimed in asking “how long it will take our government to do anything at all” and “how loudly the voices of every mother in the country can scream ‘til they do.” 

Brothers Osborne emphatically added, “Nothing will be done. Nothing.”

The Parkland shooting comes just four and a half months after 58 country music fans died in a mass shooting at the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas.

The suspect in the latest shooting has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.
