Shawn Tucker grew up in Parkland, Fla., and met his future wife, Mary, in Miss Winks' 11th grade English class at Douglas High. He has walked the halls in that building more times than he can possibly count, first as a star athlete and now as a role model.
So you can imagine how he felt on Wednesday afternoon when Mary texted him with the awful news. You can imagine his emotions -- his grief -- when he saw his high school on CNN and heard what had happened in those classrooms and hallways he knows so well.
