Uvalde became another painful reminder of how quickly gun violence can shatter lives in the United States. The tragedy sparked outrage far beyond Texas, and plenty of people, including celebrities, used their platforms to react.

Nineteen children and two teachers were killed before police neutralized the shooter, and the aftermath once again pushed gun control to the center of public debate.
