After the mass shooting on Nov. 29, The Collegian went out to ask San Joaquin Delta College students what they thought in the aftermath.
Some students thought that this wasn’t an unusual thing for Stockton.
“There’s another one that’s kind of unfortunate but it happens,” said Delta student Wren Angel.
While students aren’t surprised their hearts still go out to the families of the victims.
“It was kids,” said POST Academy student Bill Williams. “That just saddens me man.”
Some students have even shown some fear due to the proximity of the event to campus.
“I live by there and I was in the middle of doing homework to. We heard the gun shots go off [hell of] times and seen the helicopters flying around,” said student Angel Lara on the San Joaquin Delta Facebook group.
The Associated Students of Delta College (ASDC) highlighted mental health resources available for students to use, including Uwill.
“We already have the necessary resources,” said ASDC President Ema Fua, adding that like the Delta College Board of Trustees, she is confident the community will pull through.
“In moments of profound sorrow, Stockton shows extraordinary resilience.” said the Board of Trustees, “we have no doubt that this community will rally around affected families and provide the support and care that they need in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.”
