Parkland Shooting Survivor Describes Living Through a Second School Shooting at Brown University: I'm Really Angry'

"So, around 4:15, my friend called me, I'm in my dorm and she asked if I was in Barus and Holley, which is the building where the shooting occurred, and I told her, no, Weisman began. And I'm actually from Parkland, and I survived the shooting there. And, so, I was like, I just that's where my brain immediately went. And I was like, tell me if there's a shooting and they confirmed for me. And so ever since then, I've just been staying in my room. I've been on the phone with my family, my friends, and just keeping updated."

"I think mentally, you know, I feel like I'm 12 again. This just feels exactly like how I felt in 2018. But honestly, I'm really angry. I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock. I think that my experience is so important because it shows that no one is safe from this until our congresspeople actually decide to do something and care about children, care about their constituents, care about people in this country, this will continue to happen, and there will be more people like me who have survived several school shootings. Weisman continued, There's already students who survived the school shooting in Oxford in Michigan, and then went to Michigan State and survived another school shooting. This isn't a new phenomenon, and we're going to get to a point where there's people like myself who survived two of these."

Zoe Weisman, a 20-year-old Brown University sophomore, survived the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting and a recent shooting at Brown's Barus and Holley building. She learned of the campus shooting while in her dorm and immediately feared the worst because of her Parkland experience. She remained in her room, stayed on the phone with family and friends, and felt mentally set back to how she felt in 2018. She expressed anger and shock and warned that without congressional action on gun policy, more people will survive multiple school shootings, citing other repeat survivors as examples.
