Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made it a point to tell reporters on Tuesday that he wouldn't be discussing basketball ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

Those plans changed in wake of the mass shooting earlier in the day at an elementary school in Texas which left at least 18 children and a teacher dead, according to Gov. Greg Abbott. Kerr stated that any basketball questions didn't matter. 

Kerr then got emotional when talking to reporters about the shooting ahead of the playoff game between the Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks.

"Since we left shootaround 14 children [and a teacher] were killed 400 miles from here and in the last 10 days we've had elderly Black people killed in a supermarket in Buffalo, we've had Asian churchgoers killed in Southern California, and now we have children murdered at school," the coach stated.

"I’m so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I’m so tired of the moments of silence. Enough!" he added. 

Kerr has advocated for gun control in the past after his own father, Malcolm was shot and killed by gunmen while serving as the president of the American University of Beirut.
