'Roar' singer Katy Perry has spoken out after recent public shootings in the US and admitted she is "scared" to go outside because of the "constant stream" of gun violence.
Katy Perry has taken to Twitter after several recent incidents - including yesterday's (25.01.14) at a Maryland mall which resulted in the death of three, including the gunman - and how she is "really sad" that it is becoming the norm.
She wrote: "Is anyone else really sad about the constant stream of shootings and how normal it's becoming to see these headlines on a weekly basis?
"Scared to go to school? Scared to go to the mall? Scared to go to the movies? Me too. When will there be ACTUAL change? How many more?! (sic)"
Within the last week, there have been a number of shootings, and on Friday (24.01.14), a student from South Carolina State University was shot and killed.
Katy described gun violence as "embarrassing", giving her thoughts to every victim and admitting she is praying "for change".
She added: "You and I both know this is getting embarrassing...My heart goes out to ALL the victims & their families this week. I pray for change. (sic)"
