Annika Dean survived last year's mass shooting at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport by hiding behind a luggage cart. Her 14-year-old son, Austin, survived this week's shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school by hiding in a classroom. "I am in disbelief; I really am," Dean said in an interview with WPTV in West Palm Beach.

He typed, "Mom, there's a school shooting drill going on.
