“I can’t imagine a school shooting. I can’t imagine it at all.'
More than a year after 17 students and staff members were fatally shot at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, two students who survived the school shooting have died in apparent suicides. Like coming home from war, Army veterans say there is a long road to recovery for those who survive a school shooting, but students have a heavier burden to bear than themselves.
PTSD is often associated with members of the military and Army veteran Staff Sergeant Earl Granville and Army veteran David McGrath have both learned to deal with the effects of witnessing war. However, they told Newsweek that when it comes to learning to live after a traumatic experience, the Parkland, Florida, students may have a tougher time.

Just as McGrath believes the shooting will stick with the survivors, Granville said they’ll likely think about it every day. But, just as he did, the Parkland survivors need to push through to a point when it doesn’t control their lives.
