The mother of a young daughter, Trost, who is originally from Southend, Essex, was outspoken about gun violence in America and had recently posted an anti-gun message on Facebook.

'Australia had one incident. One, They FIXED IT. UK had ONE incident. They FIXED it. How? With action. Using their brains. It was not difficult for either country to find a workable and successful solution,' Trost shared on Facebook.

'Here in the US we seem to start and stop at 'thoughts and prayers.' Doesn't seem to be working right,' she added.
