Father of Florida high school shooting victim to legislators: 'You all failed me and my little boy'

The father of one of the victims of the Parkland high school massacre gave an emotional testimony in front of Florida lawmakers on Tuesday during a four-hour discussion over a new school safety bill.

"You legislators, you all failed me and my little boy," said Max Schachter, the father of Alexander Schachter, a 14-year-old boy who was gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School two weeks ago. "I cannot wait for you to do the right thing."

During his testimony, Schachter pleaded with Florida legislators to use the mass shooting, which left 14 students and three faculty members dead, as an opportunity to shape the country's conversation around gun control reform.

"Sadly, you have a unique opportunity in the state of Florida to be leaders and to unite this country around school safety," said Schachter.
