FLORIDA: Parkland Students Return To Class [VIDEO]

The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports:

Surrounded by a heavy police presence, students began returning to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Wednesday for the first time since a gunman killed 17 students and staff on Valentine’s Day. “I’m a little nervous but we have to get back so we can get some sense of normalcy,” said Bradley Golab, 14, who was in the building where the shooting took place. “We’re just going to try to support each other.”

Matthieu Evillard, 16, said he was ready to come back after spending the past two weeks going to public events. “It’s been really stressful,” he said. Lakeisha Walker said she thought about transferring her daughter, Zareyah Simpson, 16, to another school “but she wouldn’t let me.” Dozens of police agencies from Palm Beach County to Miramar surrounded the school Wednesday morning to ensure they felt safe and protected.

The building where the massacre took place remains closed and there are plans for it to be demolished.
