FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The community of Parkland, Florida, is focusing attention on its suicide prevention programs after two survivors of the Florida high school massacre killed themselves in a week. That came a week after a recent graduate, who was close friends with victim Meadow Pollack, killed herself after her family said she suffered from survivor’s guilt. The Feb. 14, 2018, shooting at the 3,200-student school killed 14 students and three staff members and wounded 17 others. Also Monday, police in Connecticut said the father of one of the 20 children slain at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 was found dead in an apparent suicide. In Florida, getting urgent counselling resources to students could be more difficult because the school is on spring break this week.
