The shooting Wednesday that killed at least 17 people at a high school in Florida could have an emotional impact for those affected by the shooting last October on the Las Vegas Strip, according to a Southern Nevada trauma expert.
Jill Roberts, CEO of the Trauma Intervention Program of Southern Nevada, said someone can relive previous trauma when news breaks about similar events.
“To have a similar incident occur, emotions and feelings can be brought back to the forefront as if they’re experiencing One October all over again," she said.
