Camila Mendes Sends Condolences to Parkland School Shooting Victims
The young actress grew up in Parkland, and her sister attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Mendes expressed her grief on Twitter this past Thursday, consoling the victims and their families who were forced to go through this tragedy.
#Parkland used to be my home, my sister attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas when I was in elementary school there. It’s devastating that such a violent tragedy happened in a place that I’ve always considered safe, a place that I associate with such innocent, childhood memories.

My heart goes out to all the families who are grieving the loss of a loved one, and for all the survivors who have to live with the trauma.
