As America and the wider international community try to come to terms with the tragic loss of life following the Sandy Hook Shooting in Connecticut yesterday morning, there has already been a reaction by TV show Haven and by the studio behind Tom Cruise's latest movie, Jack Reacher.
In the aftermath of the horror that gunman Adam Lanza unleashed on the elementary school, which killed 27 people, including 20 children, an episode of Haven has been pulled and the Premiere of Jack Reacher has been postponed.
Paramount Pictures has said that "due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken, we are postponing tomorrow’s Pittsburgh premiere of Jack Reacher."
The film obviously contains some gun violence, as the movie is about a former military police officer who is engaged by a suspected sniper to help prove his innocence. The movie poster also clearly shows Cruise holding a gun by his side.
Syfy, the network behind tv show Haven, has also released a statement about their decision to pull the latest episode, which was scheduled to air at 10pm last night, due to the fact it contained a plot that involved violence in a high school.
"Tonight’s scheduled 10 p.m. episode of Haven contained scenes of fictitious violence in a high school. In light of today’s tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, we have decided not to air it." At this stage, Syfy has made no announcement as to whether this episode will eventually air.
In what is understandably a horrifically trying time for all those involved, we offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims and hope the survivors and their families find the love and support they need.
