Last Sunday it was beautiful and vibrant 19 year old Sydney Aiello.
And now a second Parkland survivor, apparently a sophomore, has ended his life, tragically, with a gun.
“A second Parkland shooting survivor has killed himself, Coral Springs police confirmed on Sunday.
Investigators told the Miami Herald that a current Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student died in “an apparent suicide” on Saturday night.
Though police could not confirm the age of the student, Coral Springs police spokesman Tyler Reik said the student was a juvenile. Sources say the student was a male sophomore. His name has not been released.
The death comes just about a week after a recent Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School graduate, Sydney Aiello, took her own life after being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office told NBC News that Aiello died from a gunshot wound to the head.”
When I read this, especially after a week of processing the death of Sydney, I was horrified at the dread I felt that there could be more. I was, and am, bereft of words.
Allison Winn will have to speak for me.
