Outspoken anti-gun activist David Hogg got an earful on Twitter after calling Republican U.S Sen. Rick Scott of Florida "complicit" in death of Scott's friend, who was killed in the Louisville massacre.

Authorities said a lone gunman killed five and wounded at least eight others, including two police officers, at the downtown Old National Bank on Monday morning.

Among the deceased was 63-year-old Tommy Elliott — and Scott mourned him on Monday night:

"My friend Tommy Elliott was killed today in Louisville. He was my banker for many years. This news is very shocking and sad for Ann and me. He did so much in the Louisville community, and we pray for his family during this awful time," Scott tweeted.

Hogg was decidedly uncharitable to Scott amid his painful loss, which may not come as much of a surprise to those who know about Hogg'spaststatements and antics.

"Must be tough knowing you’re complicit," Hogg tweeted back to Scott.

Hogg added a subsequent tweet to Scott: "Your staff is [sic] also literally met with the survivors of gun violence, and said that they don’t care [sic] it is extremely hard for me to have sympathy for you. You have an enormous amount of power that could’ve been used to prevent what happened today and in Parkland."

Notable Twitter users took Hogg to task for his brutal response to Scott.

Other commenters agreed:

Hogg posted a number of other incendiary statements on Twitter in reaction to the Louisville massacre, but one particular tweet posted Tuesday morning stands out for its irony:
