with the horrifically sad news and awful images coming out of

Las Vegas this morning, a crowd gathered together in unity,

enjoying a music concert, unawared that moments later

their lives would changed forever.

Their families, hearing the news that their sons, daughter,

mother, father or friend isn't ever coming home is something

I can't begin to imagine

To them and for the hundreds who survived but now face

battles with their injuries and memories, we are thinking of you tonight

We're also hearing stories of bravery and heroism, by the

resilient fans at the concert and the first responses and

medical professionals in Las Vegas.

People lining up to give blood, lines that started just hours

after the shooting.

cuz that's what people do

It's what they do in Manchester, it's what they did

In the pulse nightclub in Orlando last summer, it's what they do

in every city where a horrific attack takes place.

Those will be far greater examples pf true human nature

Than that shooter on the 32nd floor

Last night was the biggest mass shooting in United States history.

As the record that has been set twice in just the two and a

half years that I've been living in America.

Here's another statistic.

11,660 people have died from gun violence in the last 275 days

in this country.

Now I come from a place where we don't have shooting at this

frequency see so it's hard for me to fathom

But it should be hard for everyone to fathom

Gun violence should not be a staple of American life

Some say it's too early to talk about gun control

For those victims last night, it's far too late

I heard today a commentator on the news explaining that there

is no real way to prevent lone wolf mass shootings like this

And forgive me, because I'm just a foreigner here and some of you

feel I have no place to say this, but how does every other

developing country do a better job of preventing these attacks

We can't be surprised that gun crime will always occur where

there is such wide availability of guns.

I saw a quote from Robert Kennedy that stayed with me today

He said that tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom,

not a guide by which to live.

Now is the time for gaining that wisdom.

Somewhere, it has to stop.

Maybe the time for the thoughts and prayers of congress members

and the president have passed.

We need to look to them to actually do something to prevent

this from ever happening in the future.

In the mean time, we mourn those we lost and we think of those

who are suffering tonight.

As ever, even in these strange times we have a show to do.

Hoping that we can bring some lively to this, the most heavy days
