Summary
One year later, Dr. Carole puts Parkland on the couch: the terror, the tragedies and the traumas. Though Nikolas Cruz may not have pledged his loyalty to ISIS, he and other school shooters of recent years were undoubtedly influenced and spurred on by terrorists and the attention their attacks get.
Where are they now? Nikolas Cruz is in jail awaiting trial, but what about the other key players: Sheriff Scott Israel, Superintendent Robert Runcie, town members and students? Students like Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg have stood on the shoulders of victims to become famous. Hear why this should make you angry. We delve into the life of one Parkland family whose daughter was killed in the shooting, and see how the tragedy continues to haunt them daily.
How do we prevent another Parkland? You may be surprised to find out that the solution isn’t as simple as adding more security because studies show that students feel less safe when they are faced with such measures as cameras, guards, and school shooter drills.

| 0:53.4 | is Nicholas Cruz, the Parkland shooter, a terrorist? Now, in a sense, |
| 0:58.1 | of course, he is a terrorist because he did create terror, a whole lot of it, and he killed |
| 1:05.7 | 17 people and injured 17 people and went on a deadly spree. |
