Hello. for those of you who are unaware, I am a student at Michigan state university. if you've been keeping up with the news, you may know where this is going.
TW: Gun violence, death, shooting
at 8:18 pm on February 13th, shots were fired into a nearby building on campus. from that point on, we were on lockdown. I barricaded myself in my dorm room with my roommate and started reaching out to those I knew.
3 of my classmates lost their lives, and several more are injured. I will be putting updates here for what's going on around campus and any GoFundMes made to support the victims and/or their families.
Please. don't make this another statistic. that could've been me that lost my life. Please fight for me and my classmates. they deserve to be alive today.
Crazy to think that not even 2 hrs away from me, there is an active shooter on a college campus and I am just driving to work as usual. I ordered donuts for Valentine鈥檚 Day tomorrow, no doubt some of those other kids did, too. It was just supposed to be a normal day at college for them and now it鈥檚 turned into one of the worst days of their lives. Fuck this country and its love affair with guns and the fucking NRA.
Today, at least 3 of my fellow Spartans were gunned down going to class and hanging out in our student union.聽
This was mere steps away from the dorm where I lived, worked, and loved for years.聽
This was a building I鈥檇 had classes in.聽
This was a union I spent countless hours in.聽
My cousin was there, locked in the basement of the place where she lived - the place she was supposed to feel safest.聽
These were people, students, young people who had their entire lives ahead of them.聽
My heart is broken. And tomorrow, the news will move on. It always will. But several families are once again shattered because of our fucking gun laws.聽
No other wealthy nation in the world deals with this.聽
Favourite moments of the 2023 NCAA gymnastics season:
Michigan State score a 196.550 in their opening meet of the season, marking their highest season-opening score in history. This is the third consecutive year that the programme record has been broken for a season-opener.
You terrorized a college campus for hours, shot and killed multiple students, wounded countless others and then you just kill yourself??
You sir are a coward. You deserved to pay for each life you stole.
For over what seemed like a life time, I had my friends and family frantically hiding in buildings and dorms. Being told to run, fight, hide if they came face to face with the attacker. Posting what could have been their last messages to friends and family.
You are a coward. We have no idea why you decided to do this. We will never have the answers for your decisions tonight.
No one should ever have to utter the words, I survived a mass shooting. And the saddest thing is, the same thing will occur next month and the month after that.
My sister's flower shop is an 18 minute walk from Berkey Hall. She should be there with her co-workers working her non-existent butt off for their busiest day of the year. A day for flowers. For love.
Last night we asked what side of the police tape the flower shop sat on.
There are flowers today, placed down with love. But enough of those flowers. We have laid down too many.
