A Parkland And FSU Mass Shooting Survivor: 'This Is America'
HuffPost
Stephanie Horowitz experienced her second school shooting Thursday at Florida State University.
As a survivor of the 2018 Parkland shooting and a current student at Florida State University, Stephanie Horowitz recalled experiencing her second mass shooting Thursday, telling CBS News, “This is America.”
“I never thought it would happen to me the first time, and here we are, and unfortunately, this is America for you,” Horowitz told CBS News on Friday.
Horowitz, an FSU student and on-campus bowling instructor, said she was in the campus’ bowling alley Thursday when her students looked out the window and saw people running.
Horowitz said when she saw belongings left behind and “laptops open” and “bags on the floor,” she knew what that meant.
“Unfortunately, due to my previous experience, I knew what that meant, and before I knew exactly what was going on, I just started to direct everybody into the backroom to safety until I got further information, but I had a feeling that it was an active shooter situation before I even heard,” Horowitz told CBS News.
