Talk about trauma.

The UVA students were on lockdown for 12 hours so this isn’t new.

Can you say a little more about why you posted this?

Exactly. Why?

To illustrate that school shootings and long lockdowns are not a one-off in the US, particularly when the shooter doesn't commit suicide or get shot by police.

Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings: Mia Tretta was shot in the abdomen in 2019 at a school near LA and Zoe Weissman witnessed a Florida shooting in 2018

And something similar in MI. A student or a few who had witnessed a hs incident in MI (forgetting the name) went on to Michigan State where they also went through a lockdown on MSU's campus a few years ago.

And then there's these students who were affected by the Parkland school shooting in FL and who were present at FSU during the April 2025 school shooting.

Jason Leavy: MSD student survivor; FSU senior at the time.
Joshua (Josh) Gallagher: MSD student survivor; FSU law student.
Stephanie Horowitz: MSD freshman survivor; FSU master's student and instructor.
Ilana Badiner: Student at the middle school adjacent to MSD during the shooting (experienced lockdown/trauma); FSU senior.
Brianna Jade Freedland: Student at the middle school adjacent to MSD during the shooting; FSU sophomore.
Robbie Alhadeff: In middle school during Parkland (sister Alyssa killed at MSD); FSU student.

Suspect in custody

“ BREAKING - Police now have a suspect in the mass shooting at Brown University but are refusing to provide the suspect’s age, race, or motive, only stating that the shooter “yelled something” before the attack and that the weapon used has a “unique characteristic” on it.”

Australia just had a mass shooting today at a Jewish gathering.

I’m wondering if the Brown shooter (in his 30s) was an anti/Semitic hit ? But the prof wasn’t there because it was a study seasoned by a TA.

This is the most probable.

Knock it off. We don’t know anything yet.

Nothing will EVER justify how Trump et al attacked colleges on spurious claims of antisemitism.

But they are much much more common. This is stupid.

This is like the anti seatbelt morons back in the day. BUT SOMEONE ONE DIES WHILE WEARINF A SEATBELT, SEE THEM THAR SEATBEKTS DINT WERK!

The backlash to this is going to end up being a repeal on the 2nd because these children in the GOP couldn’t stop with the gun lobby money for 5 seconds.

If it was a white male, we’d know it. They only delay the id when it’s not

The hotel wasn't in Providence.

At least two of the injured were freshman girls from Nova. They are friends of our friends. Heartbreaking.

It’s 10 miles away, not like it’s 200… why stay 10 miles away vs continue driving?

Can't believe Brown had unlocked doors. Even our elementary schools keep doors locked at all times. Also can't believe they haven't identified the shooter yet. Why the secrecy?

And not even student related. This was a 30-year old extremist, unrelated to Brown.

Campus police were there immediately according to students.

You can’t protect against this stuff. The alert systems worked. The school was prepared.

You can’t predict this stuff and very little you can do with random attacks.
