(Yahoo News) Andrew Pollack, the father of a student killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., praised President Trump at the opening night of the Republican National Convention, saying “he took action” after the massacre in 2018.
Pollack’s daughter, Meadow, was one of the 17 people killed in the shooting.
“She was just months away from graduating and beginning a new life,” Pollack said. “We were so proud of the woman she had become. But in the hallway on the third floor, the gunman saw Meadow and shot her four times. After she was shot and on the floor, she crawled over to another student, a freshman girl, to protect her. She draped her body over her. And then the gunman — the animal — shot Meadow five more times.”
