The terror of the Florida State University shooting, in one text

A gunman opened fire at Florida State University after midnight on Thursday, wounding three students before police killed him. During the shooting, different reports permeated through social media about what was going on. But one dad, Jacksonville Business Journal President David Sillick, got the most terrifying tweet any parent could expect during a situation like this:

Sillick's daughter reportedly turned out okay after the ordeal. But gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety retweeted the image of the text, writing, "No parent should ever have to receive a text like this." Others responded to Sillick's and Everytown's tweets with support.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
