Tomi Lahren is getting blasted for insisting that the Parkland Florida shooting "isn't about a gun" -- and some of the people coming for the Fox News commentator are witnesses and survivors of Wednesday's shooting.
"Can the Left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?" Lahren tweeted Wednesday following the tragedy. "My goodness. This isn't about a gun, it's about another lunatic."

View StoryCarly Novell, a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and survivor of the shooting, fired back at Lahren on Twitter, writing, "I was hiding in a closet for 2 hours. It was about guns. You weren't there, you don't know how it felt."
"Guns give these disgusting people the ability to kill other human beings," she added. "This IS about guns and this is about all the people who had their life abruptly ended because of guns."
In a later tweet, Carly shared a story about her grandfather, who also had to hide in a closet for safety during a mass shooting.

She also hit back at President Donald Trump for a tweet reading, "No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school."

Another young woman we believe to be a Marjory Stoneman student said she had classmates killed in the massacre and told Lahren to "please stfu."
"A gun has killed 17 of my fellow classmates," Kyra wrote. "A gun has traumatized my friends. My entire school, traumatized from this tragedy. This could have been prevented. Please stfu Tomi."

"Wake up today on my birthday, sick to my stomach, wishing yesterday was some type of sick dream," she wrote. "I'm sick to my stomach. I pray for guidance. I pray for all my friends."
The gunman, identified as former student Nikolas Cruz, opened fire inside the Parkland high school on Wednesday, resulting in "numerous fatalities." At least 17 people were killed. Cruz, who reportedly used an AR-15, is currently in custody.
