In the aftermath of a tragic school shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, where a 14-year-old student killed two classmates and two faculty members, families affected by the 2018 Parkland shooting have expressed their anguish and frustration. Patricia Oliver, a Parkland parent, criticized authorities for suggesting prayer instead of action, while Andrew Pollack emphasized the need for enhanced school security. Former President Donald Trump condemned the shooting, labeling the alleged shooter a 'sick and deranged monster' but details regarding the motive and how the shooter acquired the weapon remain unclear. Local officials are investigating how a minor had access to a firearm, raising concerns about gun safety. Debbie Hixon, who lost her husband in the Parkland shooting, stressed the need for resilience education and better mental health support for youth. The incident has reignited calls for gun control measures amidst a growing national conversation about school safety.
