Columbine survivors meet Parkland students, offer advice for surviving tragedy

Survivors of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting and survivors of last year's high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., gathered this week to discuss how they are coping in the aftermath of the respective massacres.

Four from Columbine and four from Parkland gathered for a meeting organized by CNN on Saturday to discuss the attacks and exchange advice on how to move on from the tragedies.

Seven of the eight have sought professional mental help, CNN reported Wednesday. Every survivor said they made note of the exits before sitting down with each other.

"This trauma doesn't stop when the bullets stop," Coni Sanders, whose father was killed in the Columbine shooting, said.
