Wish all of this wasn't true. But it is. And there's so much more to tell. 


This can never happen again to another mass shooting survivor.

    That's absolutely wrong of you getting fired. 
    They should be working with you and yes please get legal counsel. 
    Blessings on you and your family

    Couldn’t agree more, and can’t imagine the full story knowing that there’s probably a lot of missteps that they should’ve offered you. 2 months severance and getting let go at the end of the year is a weak choice on their part.

    Hope that in the future you’ll be able to look back and see the progress you made from everything. Nobody should be dealing with trauma from work and have their employer layer additional stress on top of it.

    Congrats on making the front page of the Tribune. Sorry it’s dwarfed by the rat hole story.
