After hearing shots, a policeman responding to an unrelated incident shot and killed the gunman otherwise, God knows how many more innocent people would have lost their lives. Kyler Murray, the star quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals, recently expressed his rage over the horrific incident. He also wished to help those who were gravely affected by the tragedy.

After hearing the painful news, it was natural for the entire nation to react to it. Murray was one of the first to grieve over the deaths of all the victims. He not only offered his condolences but also showed his anger toward the social evil that is mass shootings.

It was reported that a few of the victims were children. Out of the eight people, seven are currently receiving treatment in a hospital. Out of those seven, three are critically ill. Gregg Abbott, the Texas governor, thought of the shooting as an “unspeakable tragedy” and offered his immediate assistance.
Murray has earned the respect of the University of Oklahoma
The Cardinals quarterback is not only a well-liked figure in Arizona but also at Oklahoma. Along with using his voice for speaking on matters like mass shootings, he has also taken part in various philanthropic endeavors. The 2018 Heisman Trophy winner was recently rewarded by the Sooners by installing a statue of him. The statue was unveiled ahead of the Sooners’ annual spring game.

The statue depicts Murray, without a helmet, in the act of throwing, with the headband he wore during his college career. He is the seventh Heisman winner from the University of Oklahoma and joins the statues of other winners like Baker Mayfield, Sam Bradford, Jason White, Billy Sims, Steve Owens, and Billy Vessels.
Murray, who is regarded as one of the powerhouses of the new-gen QB, will start his season soon with the Cardinals this year.
