Ryan Petty lost his daughter Alaina in the Parkland shooting last February. Wednesday, Petty wrote a piece for USA Today arguing that the politicized reaction to the shooting resulted in a lot of students who weren’t given time to grieve and, as a result, many are still be suffering from the trauma:
Over the course of just one week in March, two more MSD students died, this time by suicide, adding to the horror of this senseless and preventable tragedy. Shortly after the Parkland suicides, the father of one of the 20 first-graders killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, took his own life as well.
