Tyler Hubbard wrote a message on his Instagram story, along with the widely-shared, emotional statement by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who said he’s “tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there…. Enough.” Hubbard added that Kerr’s statement is: “How I feel exactly. My heart breaks every time I hear of the innocent lives taken. I have three kids and I tear up at the thought of what these families must be going through and feeling tonight. Can we please start finding solutions to this ongoing issue? This has to stop. No more innocent lives. Let’s do it for the kids if for no one else.”

His wife, Hayley Hubbard, echoed the sentiment on her own story. She said, among other posts: “It’s sad that the unthinkable is now all we can think about. I’m heartbroken for he families that lost their children or loved ones, I’m angry nothing has been done STILL after all these shootings, and I’m scared and sad for kids that have to live in a country where this has become normal. Something has to change.”

Praying so hard for them.”
