Singer, Justin Timberlake Visits Santa Fe High School Shooting Victims At Hospital [Photos]

Santa Fe High School students who are recovering from last week’s shooting carried out by suspected gunman Dimitrios Pagourtzis who killed 10 and injured 13, were paid a visit by music star, Justin Timberlake. In the midst of a two-show tour stop in Houston, Justin Timberlake continued his support of the Santa Fe High School victims with a visit to the hospital.

Some photos shared on social media on Friday, showed the chart-topping musician visiting victims of the school shooting, as well as the nurses and doctors who are treating them. Timberlake had shown his support for the Santa Fe community, first wearing a “Santa Fe Strong” t-shirt during his Toyota Center concert on Wednesday.

In between concert nights on Thursday, Justin Timberlake was spotted courtside at the Rockets game next to J.J. Watt, who has pledged his support of Santa Fe on his own as well. On Friday night, the duo came together again for Timberlake’s second Toyota Center concert, with the crooner paying tribute to the “resilient” Houston area.

Meanwhile in wake of the tragic Santa Fe High School shooting, the family of victim Jared Black has penned an open letter.

Jared Black celebrated his 17th birthday just days before the deadly shooting that killed 10 people. His father was shocked when he received the heartbreaking news, saying, “He would never hurt anyone.”

When a tragedy like this happens, we face overwhelming shock and sorrow. After the initial shock and sorrow, people start placing blame. We are angry. We are hurting. Assigning blame allows us to begin processing our grief. Finger pointing, no matter where it is directed, does not help us heal. It gives a venue for our anger and pain to be placed elsewhere. We need to get it out. We have cried, we have yelled. But we have not begun to heal our broken hearts. Only when we begin to make positive changes in our own lives do we start repairing our souls. We will not blame. We will stop saying “what if.” We will start doing. We will not allow this despair to turn us into angry, hateful people. We will speak out. Not against guns. Not against school administrations. In fact, we will not be speaking against anything. We will be speaking out for. For knowing what your child goes through and what they are doing when not in your presence. For knowing who their friends are. For making the time to meet their parents, knowing if this is a positive relationship. For knowing if there is pain and trouble in their hearts. For knowing how they feel about themselves and those near them. And telling them if you “feel something, say something.”
