How Schools And Parents In Mass. Should Address The School Shooting in Florida

Seventeen people are dead following a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

The shooter was 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, who appeared in court today. Cruz is being described by former classmates as a troubled teen who talked about killing animals and that he posed with guns on social media.

We talk about how parents, teachers, and administrators can talk to children about shootings, what resources are available, and how we can better respond to keep events like these from happening in the future.
