Lewan — who played for the Titans from 2014 to 2022 — was devastated by news of the tragic event, and went to Twitter to express his frustration over the senseless act.
“This shit has got to stop,” the former first-round pick said. “Disgusting, these are children.”
His former teammate, Kevin Byard, also shared his thoughts on social media … the Titans safety saying, “Cannot believe this happens in our communities. Praying for all the families involved.”
The Tennessee Titans also weighed in, expressing support to the families and friends of the victims, as well as the community.
The suspect, who police say appears to be in her teens, has not been identified at this time.
