Brown University student who witnessed aftermath of Parkland massacre describes experiencing 2 school shootings
PROVIDENCE R I WSVN One moment -year-old Zoe Weissman was in her dorm and the next she was questioning her safety Weissman a sophomore at Brown University commented she was preparing to head to the library when a shooting on campus that executives explained killed two people and injured nine others took place The apprentice from South Florida noted she didn t hear any gunshots but she heard a helicopter and saw when the first responders arrived Weissman who was near Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland the day of the mass shooting in noted she didn t expect this to happen Not again I m shocked but I m not surprised and I think that that s apparently a sentiment that a lot of students also have here Weismann mentioned about experiencing the Brown University shooting It s like obviously you never expected to truly happen but it s not surprising because we see how often it happens This was not the first time Weissman witnessed the outcome of a school shooting So in when the shooting happened in Parkland I was outside at the middle school that is directly adjacent to the high school Weissman stated So I was kind of like right on the edge of the school property of Douglas And so because I got stuck outside I saw the first responders and I heard the gunshots So that was my experience then and so I ve gotten really involved in gun violence activism prevention activism since then
