Celebrities Respond to Shooting at Louisiana 'Trainwreck' Screening
Reports have been circulating this morning regarding a gunman who opened fire at a Lafayette cinema, The Grand Theatre, during a screening of Trainwreck. He killed three people, injuring seven others.

My heart is broken and all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Louisiana.
