"We're Angry": Brown Univ. Student & Parkland Survivor Zoe Weissman Demands Action on Gun Violence



The two victims in Saturday’s mass shooting at Brown University have been identified: freshman Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and sophomore Ella Cook. We speak to another sophomore, Zoe Weissman, who came to Brown from Parkland, Florida, where she was a student at the middle school adjacent to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the mass shooting that occurred there in 2018. “Because I’ve already processed all the grief and the sadness before,” says Weissman about surviving a second school shooting in her young life, “my most predominant emotion right now is, honestly, anger … because we are the only country where this happens, and … the only country that has more guns than people.”
