The mass shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport shook the nation on Friday and was especially frightening for Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo.

Shortly after the shooting, which killed five people and injured eight others in a baggage claim area, Rizzo sent a tweet revealing that his parents were travelling through the airport when the attack occurred.

As Rizzo said, the thoughts of the nation – and beyond – are with the victims and their families who weren’t as fortunate.
