(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- One of the survivors of last summer’s North Shore mass shooting made an appearance Monday at a news conference about the Nashville school shooting that left six people and the shooter dead.
Ashbey Beasley and her family ran for their lives when a sniper opened fire on Highland Park's Fourth of July parade last year.
This week, she happened to be in Nashville when the latest U.S. mass shooting erupted, this time at an elementary school.
Beasley told reporters it's past time for lawmakers to act.
“How is this still happening? How are our children still dying and why are we failing them? Gun violence is the No. 1 killer of children and teens,” she said.
Authorities in Nashville said police killed a 28-year-old woman who had gone on a shooting rampage at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school of about 200 preschool through sixth grade students. Three adults and three children were killed.
