Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton took to Twitter to denounce both the shooting and the National Rifle Association.

"The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get," the former first lady wrote in a tweet for which she has been roundly ciritcized for being misinformed about silencers, which don't actually make weapons "silent" when fired.

"Our grief isn't enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again."

Clinton has been joined by Democrats in Congress, including Connecticut's two senators, who are demanding legislative action in addition to prayers and expressions of condolences.
