Andrew Pollack, father of slain Meadow Pollack, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting 2018, speaks at 2020 RNC Convention.

Meadow Jade Pollack , a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, she was murdered in the February 14, 2018 shooting. Meadow was shot nine times and had attempted to avoid the shooter while struggling to get into a classroom. Teachers and students were not able to open the classroom door.
Andrew Pollack told CBN that as the shooter returned, Meadow covered another student (who died in the shooting) in an attempt to protect her. She was then shot five more times, killing her and the other student she shielded.
Meadow had planned to attend Lynn University in the fall and spoke about becoming a lawyer.
Meadow’s death prompted her father to found Meadow’s Movement, a movement fighting for increased school security to prevent future school massacres.
On February 21, 2018, Andrew and his two sons attended a White House listening session hosted by President Donald Trump that consisted of siblings and friends of slain victims along with survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. He spoke extensively on the topic of school security, claiming that schools do not have the same level of security as airports, stadiums, and embassies. Pollack raised that the September 11 attacks happened once and that measures were put in place to prevent it from ever happening again, also stating “There should have been one school shooting, and we should have fixed it!”
