President Donald Trump reacted to Friday's school shooting in Texas by sending his best wishes to everyone involved.

Trump tweeted this amid reports that as many as eight people were killed in the incident near Houston:

School shooting in Texas. Early reports not looking good. God bless all!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 18, 2018

The shooting occurred at Santa Fe High School, about 30 miles southeast of Houston. Police reportedly took the alleged shooter into custody.

Friday's shooting happened a little more than three months after 14 children and three adults were killed in a high school shooting massacre in Florida, which gave new life to the gun control movement in the United States.

Trump later spoke about the shooting.
