A father whose child was murdered in the Parkland High School shooting revealed that several of his daughter’s surviving classmates were at Florida State University when a gunman opened fire on students there Thursday.
“America is broken. My daughter Jaime was murdered in the Parkland school shooting. Many of her friends who were lucky enough to survive that shooting went on to attend FSU,” father Fred Guttenberg wrote on X shortly after gunfire broke out at FSU’s Tallahassee campus.
“Incredibly, some of them were just a part of their 2nd school shooting and some were in the student union today. As a father, all I ever wanted after the Parkland shooting was to help our children be safe.”
“Sadly, because of the many people who refuse to do the right things about reducing gun violence, I am not surprised by what happened today,” wrote the anti-gun violence advocate.
Guttenberg’s 14-year-old daughter Jamie was among 17 people killed when a deranged gunman opened fire at the high school in February 2018.
At least one person is dead at FSU after Thursday’s shooting, while six more are wounded – one in critical condition.
The shooter has been taken into custody.
