Quinta Brunson, the creator and star of "Abbott Elementary," said people have asked her to write a school shooting episode of her show.

"Wild how many people have asked for a school shooting episode of the show I write," Brunson tweeted Wednesday. "People are that deeply removed from demanding more from the politicians they've elected and are instead demanding 'entertainment.'" 

She continued: "I can't ask 'are yall ok' anymore because the answer is 'no.'"

She then said fans asking about a school shooting episode should channel their energy into asking elected officials to "get on Beto time and nothing less," referring to Beto O'Rourke, a candidate for Texas governor who is a staunch supporter of stricter gun control laws.

"I'm begging you," Brunson added. "I don't want to sound mean, but I want people to understand the flaw in asking for something like this. We're not okay. This country is rotting our brains. I'm sad about it." 

A gunman opened fire at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school on Tuesday, killing 19 students and two teachers. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott said on Wednesday that an additional 17 people were treated for non-life-threatening injuries related to the incident.

Conscripts on Sunken Cruiser Moskva Left to Drown While Officers Fled Like Rats?

Sunken cruiser Moskva: new claim that conscripts were 'left to drown' as officers 'fled the ship like rats'

• Russia has only admitted one casualty from the sinking of the flagship cruiser
• Father of one of the victims said officers abandoned drowning crew members

The flagship of Putin's Black Sea Fleet was sunk on 14 April by a suspected Ukrainian Neptune missile strike.

Russia has still not acknowledged the huge death toll, so far only admitting one casualty from the embarrassing blow to the Kremlin war effort.

Ukrainian military intelligence has claimed Russia carried out a two-week salvage operation involving seven vessels following the sinking. 

It comes amid a new claim that young naval sailors were 'left to drown' while 'officers fled the ship like rats'.

Russian forces secretly conducted a macabre operation to remove the dead from the sunken cruiser Moskva, reports have claimed

Admiral Igor Osipov, 49, in charge of the Black Sea Fleet, has not been seen since his flagship Moskva sank

It is the largest Russian warship to be sunk since World War II and the first of a similar size since ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands War in 1982

There is rising fury from relatives of the crew over an alleged cover-up by the Russian authorities over the fate of many sailors, a large proportion of whom were conscripts.

Dmitry Shkrebets (left, pictured with his son Yegor, 20) is leading a campaign against the Russian cover-up

A father leading the campaign, Dmitry Shkrebets, 43, said: 'There were no rescue efforts. Officers fled the ship like rats, the sailors were abandoned.' He vowed: 'Putin will answer personally. He is used to lying.'

He told Putin: 'You'll answer!'

He lost his son Yegor, 20, in the sinking.

'Want to know why there were no badly wounded survivors from the Moskva? Because they sank them together with the cruiser.

'They couldn't tug the ship to Sevastopol, because everyone would realise what happened, so overnight from 13 to 14 April they pulled it further south, and sank it.

'This is the naked truth. The scary, awful truth, and I'll prove it.

'The time will pass, and I'll prove it. Look at the awful beasts we have as our authorities.'

The images show what appears to be damage to the left-hand side of the vessel close to the water line, smoke and fire damage along its left-hand side, missing lifeboats and open helicopter bay doors - suggesting the aircraft has taken off. A rescue ship also appears to be behind the stricken ship, spraying water jets

He confirmed his son was a conscript who had not signed a contract as a career member of the navy, like many others on the vessel.

'The pain is unstoppable,' he said.

'Were Yegor to have signed a contract, I would have been quiet, because that would mean he was trained and ready for war, but he didn't, and there are so many like him.

'The circumstances of their death are horrendous, they were betrayed and left to die.

'And now the top military officers must be fired. 'The time will come, and I'll publish a big investigation about what happened.

'I can say one thing right now: it is the highest ranks who are guilty in the death of the Moskva.

'There is betrayal and sloppiness there. I will say more about it later, if we live to see it.

'Our health got shaken by this because of the nerves. I am not the enemy to my country.'

Admiral Igor Osipov, 49, in charge of the Black Sea Fleet, has not been seen since his flagship Moskva sank, prompting rumours that he has been suspended or detained or was even on board.
