- Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said that there needs to be consideration about automatically giving the death penalty to school shooters after a shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, left three children and three adults dead.
- Scott, who served as governor of Florida when the Parkland school shooting happened in 2018, expressed his prayers for the people who are “facing the unimaginable” in a tweet Monday.
- “We need to consider an automatic death penalty for school shooters. Life in prison is not enough for the deranged monsters who go into our schools to kill innocent kids & educators. Pray for all facing the unimaginable in Nashville. This is horrible & must stop,” Scott tweeted.
