Actress Debra Messing posed for a selfie in support of gun control just as a manhunt began for the suspect who opened fire on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Wednesday morning.

Two victims were shot on UCLA’s gun-free campus at around 9:53 a.m. Wednesday morning, Breitbart News previously reported. At 10:35 am, as police began searching for the perpetrator, Messing tweeted a selfie with the caption: “HORRENDOUS Watching news about shooting at UCLA with casualties while taking selfie 2bring awareness to Gun Violence.”

The actress wore a shirt with the logo from Katie Couric’s gun control documentaryUnder The Gun. Couric recently apologized for “misleading” viewers with edits in the film designed to make pro-2nd Amendment advocates appear foolish.

The tweet featuring the photograph appeared to have been deleted shortly after it was posted.

Messing apparently faced significant backlash shortly after posting the tweet. In a series of follow-up messages, the Will and Grace star said she never intended to cause offense and was simply a victim of “the horrendous irony of the timing” of the post.

Messing failed to mention that the UCLA campus is gun-free —like all California college campuses. In other words, the campus has 100 percent gun control.

A short time later, Messing tweeted a longer statement in defense of her initial tweet:

Donald Trump Vows to End ‘Gun-Free Zones in Schools’– During Obama Townhall

As President Obama was at a CNN town hall meeting discussing his passion for gun control, Donald Trump vowed to end gun-free zones.

The billionaire presidential candidate was hosting a campaign rally in Burlington, Vermont at the same time as Obama’s televised meeting, juxtaposing the two events.

Perhaps it was no mistake then that Trump chose to talk about gun control at the end of his speech.

“I will get rid of gun-free zones in schools — you have to — and on military bases on my first day. It gets signed. My first day – there’s no more gun free zones,” Trump told supporters as they cheered wildly.

Trump pointed out that gun-free zones were dangerous because they attracted people considering a mass shooting.

“You know what a gun-free zone is to a sicko?” Trump asked. “That’s bait.”

He lamented that soldiers were killed by terrorists in a military recruitment center and at a military base because they were not allowed to have weapons – even though they were trained to use firearms.

“That ends immediately,” he said. “We’re going back to sanity in this country, we’re going back to strength in this country, we’re going back to intelligence, and we’re going back to common sense.”

Trump added that if good people had guns in California or Paris, they might have been able to stop the terrorists who perpetuated attacks.

“You have bad stuff happening, but at least we’re shooting back and we’re going down shooting,” he said. “Nobody can dispute that.”
