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

As the horror was unfolding in Uvalde, Texas , law enforcement swarmed the area surrounding the school . Many were outfitted in camouflage. They paced around with semi-automatic weapons strapped to their chests and stood next to a Lenco BearCat, an armored vehicle that’s basically a tank. Uvalde—an agricultural community dotted with modest houses, is not drowning in excess wealth—yet the police and border control agents have the tools and weapons more befitting of Seal Team 6—thanks to federal grant programs that pass military grade equipment to local police at no cost. After the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine —which was such a rare, unthinkable event that my high school teachers stopped class so we could watch live reports—we’ve increasingly upped police budgets and police presence in schools. There are 52,000 school safety officers and 15,500 law enforcement officers in schools. And as the Intercept reported, the Uvalde School District employs a chief, five … [Read more...] about More Guns and Cops at Schools Are Not the Answer
