Parkland mourns student suicides one year after Stoneman Douglas shooting
CNNCNN — Parents in Parkland, Florida, still coping with fallout from last year’s school shooting face a new set of tough questions after recent suicides in the community. “They’re wondering, ‘could this be my son or daughter?’” said Ryan Petty, whose daughter Alaina was killed in the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. “We’re still struggling to understand what’s happening.” Sydney Aiello, a 2018 graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killed herself last week. Then, on Saturday, a current Stoneman Douglas student died in what police describe as “an apparent suicide.” It’s not yet clear whether it was related to last year’s school shooting. “We’re still clearly in trauma.” Parents ‘can be part of the solution’ Members of the Stoneman Douglas community have been frank about their mental health struggles over the past year.
