Tallahassee, Fla. – Today, in response to the Parkland murderer pleading guilty to 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14th, 2018, Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried issued the following statement:
“My heart is with the Parkland community today. Nothing can ever bring back the precious lives that were lost or undo the trauma that was inflicted on our students, faculty, and loved ones, but I hope that this can be another step forward in the healing process. We must continue to honor the memories of the 17 students and staff members who were killed and recommit ourselves to the common-sense actions needed to address the epidemic of gun violence in the United States and prevent further tragedies.”
“Today we remember Alyssa Alhadeff, 14; Martin Duque Anguiano, 14; Scott Beigel, 35; Nicholas Dworet, 17; Aaron Feis, 37; Jaime Guttenberg, 14; Chris Hixon, 49; Luke Hoyer, 15; Cara Loughran, 14; Gina Montalto, 14; Joaquin Oliver, 17; Alaina Petty, 14; Meadow Pollack, 18; Helena Ramsay, 17; Alex Schachter, 14; Carmen Schentrup, 16; and Peter Wang, 15.”
