HOUSTON -- Astros manager AJ Hinch joined some of his players and the Astros organization in offering condolences, while also expressing grief and anger, about Friday's school shooting that occurred at Santa Fe High School, about 30 minutes south of Minute Maid Park. At least 10 people, mostly students, were killed and 10 were injured by a 17-year-old student, according to reports.
The Astros held a moment of silence prior to Friday's series opener against the Indians to honor the victims. The team also lowered flags at Minute Maid Park to half-staff.
"Obviously, we offer our condolences, but to be honest with you, it makes me angry," Hinch said.
