Sandy Hook, the FF that just keeps on giving
Michigan State shooting survivor also endured 2012 Sandy Hook massacre
February 14, 2023
A college student who survived the deadly shooting that killed three students and critically wounded five others Monday night at Michigan State University was also at the horrific Sandy Hook massacre over 10 years ago.
“I am 21 years old, and this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through,” Jackie Matthews said in an emotional TikTok video shared early Tuesday.
Now a senior at MSU, Matthews was a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012, when gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 students and six teachers and staff.
Speaking from a room across the road from where Anthony Dwayne McRae gunned down several MSU students just hours before,Matthews said she still suffers from a “full-blown PTSD fracture” in her lower back from the hours spent crouching in her Sandy Hook classroom.
“The fact that this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through is incomprehensible,” Matthews said.
My heart goes out to all the families and the friends of the Michigan State shooting,” she continued.
“But we can no longer just provide love and prayers. It needs to be legislation, it needs to be action. It’s not okay.We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”
