Following the school massacre earlier this week, Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey went to his hometown of Uvalde, Texas.
On Friday, May 27, the Interstellar actor joined Rep. Tony Gonzales in visiting families and people touched by the tragedy, including parents who lost their children in the massacre and school system officials.
The horrific mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday killed 21 people, including 19 pupils and two adults.
McConaughey, 52, visited the bereaved community at Uvalde Civic Centre. “Thank you, Matthew, for your contribution to the healing of our community. Your visit brought a lot of smiles to Uvalde. My buddy, I’ll see you soon “Gonzales, 41, uploaded images of his visit to Twitter.
The actor from Dallas Buyers Club took the trip after releasing a poignant message in reaction to the attack. “As you are all aware, another mass shooting occurred today, this time in my hometown of Uvalde, Texas,” he stated.
“Once again, we have regrettably demonstrated that we are failing to be accountable for the privileges that our liberties offer us,” he wrote.
“We can manage this pandemic, and no matter whose side of the aisle we are on, we all know we can do better. We must improve “McConaughey continued.
“Action must be taken so that no parent has to go through what the parents in Uvalde and others have gone through,” he added.
