Just a day after the horrific Texas mass shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX, fans of the hit comedy show, Abbott Elementary, mostly comprised of all Black students, social media users are requesting an episode of a school shooting, creator Quinta Brunson shared.
Quinta took to Twitter and expressed that she received multiple requests to air an episode depicting a school shooting taking place on the show.
Quinta tweeted:
Wild how many people have asked for a school shooting episode of the show I write. people are that deeply removed from demanding more from the politicians they’ve elected and are instead demanding ‘entertainment.’ I can’t ask ‘are yall ok?’ anymore because the answer is ‘no.’
She continued to tweet and asked for people to reach out to their politicians instead:
Please use that energy to ask your elected official to get on Beto time and nothing less. I’m begging you[.]
Stating she didn’t want to sound mean, Quinta made it clear that she was sad behind the request.
I don’t want to sound mean, but I want people to understand the flaw in asking for something like this. we’re not okay. this country is rotting our brains. I’m sad about it.
The 32-year-old shared a picture of a message she received in a tweet:

As previously reported, Governor Greg Abbott identified the suspect as 18-year-old deceased suspect Salvador Ramos. The gunman is accused of killing 19 kids and two adults, according to CNN. He was shot and killed by police.
Roomies, what do you think of the request?
