Lisa and David Mizen outside of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Friday, Feb. 16, 2018. Their son Lewis, 17, was on lockdown, hiding in a closet, at the high school on Wednesday afternoon. After seeing police rush to the school and checking a local message board website that posted about an active shooter situation, Lisa texted her son. "I texted him and said this is real," recalled Linda, who said her son wasn't sure if it was a drill or not. "The difficulty then was we're at home watching it live and we know there's an active shooter on campus. We knew he was in a closet, but we couldn't get ahold of him," recalled David. "We couldn't breathe. It's suffocating not being able to do anything." Lisa added, "I mean it's awful because here we are 3 days later and I actually feel guilty because I keep crying. I keep crying for no reason and our son's home."
