Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who is known to be a sharp critic of Trump, urged people to pause on the "angry finger-pointing" and requested compassion in the face of tragedy. He took to his Instagram account and wrote, "Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just, for one day, agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents, and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence."
