Eva Longoria Pens a Tribute to Kendrick Castillo, Hero Student Killed in School Shooting

Eva Longoria poses for photos while attending the Global Gift Foundation’s Women Empowerment Luncheon on Thursday afternoon (May 9) in Los Angeles.

Also in attendance at the event were Jane the Virgin‘s Andrea Navedo and Dexter‘s Julie Benz.

Eva took to Instagram that day to pay tribute to Kendrick Castillo, the student killed in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting who is being hailed a hero for rushing at the shooter.

“God bless this child and his family. I also wish he didn’t have to be a hero. We failed him, our policies on gun control have failed him, and now he’s gone. Something has to change so that our children can feel safe in schools and not have to jump in front of a gunman to save his classmates,” Eva wrote.
