2 Survivors of Parkland Massacre Die by Suicide
-----------------------------------------------

A student who survived last year's shooting massacre at Marjory Stoneman
Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, died by suicide Saturday,
according to local authorities. The unnamed student is the second
Parkland survivor to die by suicide in a week, after 19-year-old Sydney
Aiello's death last weekend. Aiello suffered from post-traumatic stress
disorder and survivor's guilt, according to her mother. Seventeen
students, staff and teachers were killed in Parkland on February 14,
2018, in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history. David
Hogg, a Parkland massacre survivor and gun control activist, tweeted
Sunday, "How many more kids have to be taken from us as a result of
suicide for the government / school district to do anything? Rip 17+2."
