Julianne Moore condemns gun violence after Oregon school shooting
Actress Julianne Moore has publicly criticized the United States government following a fatal shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. The attack, carried out by a 16-year-old armed with a shotgun, resulted in the deaths of four people: three children, aged 5, 8, and 11, and a teacher. Two other individuals were injured in the incident.
The shooter was killed at the scene by an armed local resident who intervened during the attack. In a social media statement, Moore described the event as an avoidable massacre and argued that schools should serve as safe havens for learning rather than sites of terror. She called for urgent legislative changes and government action to address the recurring cycle of gun violence in the country.
