"It’s just awful. They really need to do something about gun control. There are too many people with guns," said Bernita Herbert, shopper.

"It's a tragedy. It's a shame. Senseless. Stupid," said Lirahrisha McGinnis, shopper. "I think we as people, we need to step up more, say more and do more. Society is failing us. It’s just – I don’t know. It’s crazy."
