For some Brown University students, this school shooting was not their first

For at least two students at Brown University, Saturday's shooting was not the first time they've been through a school shooting.
Zoe Weissman, a sophomore pre-med student at Brown, was at the middle school next door to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, where a former student opened fire, killing 17 people in 2018.
Nearly eight years later, she found herself on lockdown again for yet another school shooting.
Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Weissman about what she's feeling after surviving a second school shooting.
