The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to examine school safety in response to the deadly February 2018 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. Members heard from the father of a teen girl who died in the tragedy, a teacher at the school who sheltered her students during the shooting, as well as federal law enforcement officials from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The state’s two U.S. senators, Marco Rubio (R) and Bill Nelson (D), also testified. Ryan Petty, the father who lost his daughter, urged Congress to find common ground and act like the Florida legislature did to prevent future mass shootings in schools. close
