TAMPA BAY, Fla. (CW44 News at 10) – A Florida school shooting survivor is speaking out about the incidents unfolding in Texas. 20-year-old Zach Hibshman was a junior at Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when police say a 17-year-old expelled student entered and opened fire there in 2018. 17 people were killed that day. “I was 16 years old. I was in the building right next to it… and I did hear everything. It was definitely, very loud. I did unfortunately see bodies that were on the floor covered by sheets. When the SWAT and the police escort you out, it’s sort of surreal,” he explained. “When I got home, I turned on the news channel and I was just in a state of shock. I’m like, ‘there’s no way’. It’s terrible to think of that there were literally kids just a couple hundred feet next to me that did end up getting shot and did end up passing away.” Seeing Tuesday’s tragedies at a Texas elementary school unfold, he says, brings back vivid memories. “It’s … [Read more...] about Florida School Shooting Survivor Reacts to Texas School Shooting
