In a chilling coincidence, students at Florida State University faced gun violence once more, just as many had during the Parkland shooting in 2018. Joshua Gallagher, a law student who experienced the Parkland tragedy, expressed disbelief and lamented the recurrence of gun violence. He and other students sheltered in place during Thursday's shooting, drawing haunting parallels to their past trauma. Ilana Badiner shared her harrowing experience of lockdown, highlighting the emotional toll as students once again found themselves in crisis, longing for change in the face of such recurring violence.
Joshua Gallagher, a law student at Florida State who went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, wrote on social media on Thursday that he never thought that gun violence would hit close to home again.
Ilana Badiner, 21, who is graduating from Florida State in two weeks, said in an interview that she huddled in the student union basement with about 30 people during the shooting.
