“I couldn’t hold my breath since reading the news and getting a call from our school that they were also locked up because of the news. Shaking. Crying. broken hearted. Terrible,” Johnson wrote.
“Our baby is now home with us. I feel lucky and blessed but still very sad. No parent or family should have to deal with this.”

The Dancing With The Stars contestant recounts what happened outside his home in Nashville.
“I have seen ambulances of children, countless police cars, buses of children being transported to safety, parents flying down the street honking their horns, people running in and out of churches and schools looking for their children. Today has changed me.”
The shocking scene led Johnson to share a prayer for the children who were shot for doing what they were supposed to be doing Monday through Friday, attending school, and being educated. And adults who choose the teaching profession or work in the school system in other capacities.

“So far; 3 children and 2 adults have died,” he wrote. “Praying for the families whose babies didn’t come home from school today and the families who lost a part of themselves,” continued the medal winner.
“I also pray for the children and adults who may have witnessed, firsthand, the acts of violence committed today: Jesus, please come.”
