Star Wars actor shares heartbreaking headline in response to Wisconsin school shooting

Madison: It’s just heartbreaking to hear about the recent school shooting. Mark Hamill, the guy who played Luke Skywalker, shared a really touching headline after the news broke. This tragic event left three people dead, including a teacher and a student.

So, here’s what happened: a 15-year-old girl named Natalie Rupnow opened fire at the Abundant Life Christian School. Sadly, she was also found dead at the scene. It’s just so tragic. Six others were hurt, with two in critical condition. Right now, no one knows why she did it.

This shooting marks the 83rd school shooting in the U.S. this year alone. Can you believe that? After these awful events, a satirical paper called The Onion often runs a headline that says, “No way to prevent this,” which really hits home.

Mark Hamill shared this headline on Bluesky, adding a heartbreak emoji. It’s a reminder of how often these tragedies happen. The Onion has been using that line since 2014, and it just keeps coming back every time something like this occurs.

In a past interview, one of The Onion’s editors mentioned how they wrote that headline for one shooting, but it ended up being relevant for so many others. It’s sad that it resonates so much, but it does.

In other news, The Onion recently bought Alex Jones’s Infowars website, which is a big deal. Jones has been in hot water for spreading conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting, which was a horrific event that took so many lives.

Back to Wisconsin, a second-grade student even called 911 during the shooting. Police found a handgun at the scene, and Rupnow’s family is working with the authorities. It’s just a lot to process.

President Biden called the situation shocking and said we need Congress to take action. He and Jill are praying for the victims, which is a nice sentiment. A candlelight vigil is planned for Tuesday evening as the community tries to heal from this tragedy.
