“Tragedies like Las Vegas have happened too many times. We need to have the conversation about how to stop gun violence. We need it NOW,” Warren wrote in a tweet storm.

Her remarks come after gunfire broke out at a country music festival in Las Vegas Sunday evening, killing at least 50 and wounding about 400 others.

“I’m heartsick for the victims of last night’s massacre in Las Vegas & their loved ones,” Warren wrote.

“I’m heartsick for people in Nevada & across the country who woke up to this news & are worried that their family & friends are ok.”

Lawmakers Monday morning issued statements mourning the victims and praying for those affected. Warren, however, said thoughts and prayers “are not enough.”

“Thoughts & prayers are NOT enough. Not when more moms & dads will bury kids this week, & more sons & daughters will grow up without parents,” she said.

Other Democratic lawmakers expressed frustration Monday in the wake of the shooting, including Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who said he will not participate in the moment of silence on the House floor because it “becomes an excuse for inaction.”
