Jaime Taylor Guttenberg was 14 when she was killed on February 14, 2018, in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. A dedicated dancer who practiced 13 hours a week, she hoped to become a pediatric physical therapist. Jaime was shot and killed in a hallway while attempting to flee from a gunman armed with an AR-15 rifle. The attack left 17 people dead and many others injured.

The shooter, a former student, was identified as Nikolas Cruz; he was arrested shortly after the incident and charged with 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted murder. Jaime’s parents, Fred and Jennifer Guttenberg, joined other families in suing the school district, the FBI, and the firearm manufacturer, and became vocal advocates for gun control and school safety reforms. The tragedy also helped galvanize the March for Our Lives movement.
