“I’ve seen my classmates [get] shot. And the fact that it’s been eight years since then, let alone before our incident in Marysville, you had Sandy Hook. It’s just nothing has really been done.”
Cale Lien, a survivor of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School mass shooting in Washington when he was a freshman, spoke out about the need for change in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
“I was in the cafeteria, probably about 25-30 feet in front of the shooter. And I was in line to get some food. And so I heard the first gunshot. And then there was a pause,” Lien said. “And at that moment, I really didn’t think anything of it, you know, I thought it was someone blowing up a paper bag and popping it. And then the remaining shots started coming.”
Lien is currently pursuing a degree in education at Western Washington University, a decision that came from the fatal shooting.
