Hannah Kapoor is a Junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas who hid on the auditorium floor for two hours during the shooting after straying too far from classrooms due to the fire alarm. She is an editor for the school newspaper, The Eagle Eye, a member of Politics Club, and multiple honor societies at the school.
The topic of gun control was not a foreign subject to our classrooms, but never once did we believe our school would become the epicenter of this debate. Yet, as we grieve our fallen classmates and staff members, politicians address this as “another mass shooting” and entertain the idea of arming teachers.
