Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Emma González on Saturday called the man who took the gun from the Waffle House shooter earlier this week her hero.

The tweet appeared to be in response to rap star Kanye West's tweet calling González his hero.

González has been advocating for stricter gun control laws in the wake of the deadly February shooting at her Parkland, Fla. high school.
