An 18-year-old male shooter opened fire at an elementary school in Ulvade, Texas on Wednesday, killing at least 21 people, according to official reports. With celebrities all over America expressing their anger and sorrow at the incident, the former World No. 1 chimed in with her own opinion.

In addition to remarking that she was “heartbroken”, Williams said she would pray for the victims. The 41-year-old went on to refer to a verse from the Bible – Matthew 6:10, in particular – talking about the ‘Kingdom of God’.
The American is a Jehovah’s Witness, a religious group that sees the establishment of a ‘Kingdom of God’ as the only solution to all of humanity’s problems.

Twitter users wasted no time lambasting the 23-time Grand Slam champion for her statements. They remarked that thoughts and prayers were not enough to console the families of the victims.

Many also directed their criticism at the American’s choice of words. They added that it was distasteful of her to essentially pray for the death of millions of people
“Very disrespectful, insensitive, despicable and distasteful – (Serena Williams) “literally believes that MORE children will be killed in Armageddon; asking people to pray for an event wherein God kills children, women, families, anyone who does not support “his kingdom,”” another fan tweeted.
