'Reporting on a school shooting as a school shooting survivor and now as a mom has been indescribably heart breaking. Something needs to change.'
Bukovac said that the most recent shooting resurfaced"a lot of tough memories."
She then shared some advice for families and parents that she had personally learned in the aftermath of her own school shooting experience. "My biggest advice is for all the families here: If your student witnessed the unthinkable today, just be very gentle with them and let them talk when they’re ready, because the shock that they’re going to be feeling when they’re coming home is going to be unfathomable," she said."I know, I was actually in the hallway when the gunman opened fire in my school shooting.""I wasn’t really ready to talk about it for two years really," she continued.
Bukovac did not publicly share which school shooting she survived. On Feb. 5, 2010, the date she mentioned, a 15-year-old student at Discovery Middle School in Alabama shot and killed a 14-year-old peer. "I appreciate all the support I’ve received after sharing my story. I don’t talk about it much, but I think about what happened on February 5, 2010 often. I just want people to know they aren’t alone,"More on the Nashville school shooting
