Parkland dad Fred Guttenberg on Thursday shared photos in memory of his daughter, Jaime, one year after she was killed in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
“Exactly one year ago, to the minute at around 7am, I sent two kids to school,” Guttenberg tweeted. “Only my son Jesse came home. Jaime was murdered in school. I am forever haunted by my memory of that morning, rushing my kids out the door rather than getting one last minute. Did I say I love you?”
In the year since the shooting, Guttenberg and other parents of victims have become staunch advocates for gun control.

He attended the State of the Union address last year as a guest of now-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and has confronted a number of GOP lawmakers and figures over gun control.
“It was not supposed to be the the last time I would see Jaime,” he wrote Thursday. “For those who still want to deny the reality of gun violence, my daughter IS Jaime Guttenberg. I will be visiting her today at the cemetery. Jaime, I love you forever and miss you every second of every day.”
March For Our Lives, the student-led movement that emerged from the Parkland shooting to push for gun control and school safety, is planning to go “dark” on social media this week to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the shooting, which left 17 students and staff dead and over a dozen others injured.
