PARKLAND,
Fla. (AP) — Students at a Florida high school where 17 of their
classmates and staff members were killed returned Sunday to gather their
belongings thrown down in panic during the school shooting nearly two
weeks ago.
Thousands
of students joined their parents in walking past the three-story
building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where the Feb. 14
massacre took place. It is now cordoned off by a chain link fence that
was covered with banners from other schools showing their support.
"Just
seeing the building was scary," freshman Francesca Lozano said as she
exited the school with her mom. Still, she was happy to see her friends.
"That made it a lot better."
Seventeen
people dressed in white costumes as angels stood by a makeshift
memorial outside the school before moving near the entrance. Organizer
Terry Decarlo said the costumes are sent to mass shootings and disasters
so the survivors "know angels are looking over them and protecting
them." Many of Sunday's angels were survivors of the 2016 Pulse
nightclub shooting in Orlando where 49 people died, Decarlo said.
