“Praying for you too sir. Be strong,” a user replied.
“Thank you Harrison! We’re all praying for him – and for brave warriors like you,” wrote another.
Some of the comments weren’t in agreeance, however.
“Because prayers have always worked,” someone else said. “News flash, they don’t. Everyone always offers up thoughts and prayers but not actually action. So yeah I guess prayers for the country because that will make it all better.”
The FBI’s investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
