Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed sadness and concern Wednesday as he discussed Tuesday’s shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Prescott said the event “makes me fearful to have children.”

A suspected 18-year-old gunman abandoned his vehicle, entered Robb Elementary School and killed at least 21 people Tuesday. The deaths include 19 children and two adults.

“Honestly, it makes me fearful to have children, and that’s not right,” Prescott told reporters Wednesday, per the Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken.
