After sharing some [photos](https://www.instagram.com/p/BfOYmYPFShB/?taken-by=amyschumer) of her and Fischer’s nuptials on Instagram, Schumer appeared to address the tragedy—which [took the lives of 17 people](http://time.com/5159134/who-is-the-florida-shooter-parkland-nicolas-cruz/) and injured at least 14 others—in a text post on the social media site. “No I’m not pregnant,” she wrote, shutting down [rumors](http://people.com/movies/amy-schumer-says-she-is-not-pregnant-after-surprise-wedding/) surrounding the surprise wedding. “And no gifts but thank you for asking. Instead please consider \[a\] donation to [Everytown for Gun Safety](https://everytown.org/).” The 36-year-old actor went on to pay tribute to two victims of the fatal shooting at a 2015 screening of her film _Trainwreck_. “Thought of Mayce and Jillian a lot yesterday and sending love to everyone who has been affected by gun violence,” she concluded. Everytown is a nonprofit working to end gun violence in the United States through stricter gun control laws.
