Matthew McConaughey took to social media to address the Texas school shooting — which left at least 21 individuals dead, including 19 students, a teacher and one other adult, on Tuesday — that took place in his native town of Uvalde.
In a statement posted on Wednesday, McConaughey offered prayers to those affected by the recent tragedies and called Americans to question how they can individually protect their neighborhoods, communities and country, stating "we cannot exhale once again, make excuses, and accept these tragic realities as the status quo."
