Texts to mom and dad amid slaughter

“If I don’t make it I love you.” Teens and their parents, all of them terrified, exchanged harrowing text messages during Wednesday’s school shooting in South Florida.

“We’re in a real code red dad, get me ASAP it’s not a drill,” one kid texted his father.

The father, whose name was not revealed, read the text aloud to a reporter for Atlanta’s WSB-TV as he waited outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland on Wednesday.

“I hear gunshots. We just got a code-red notification so get me ASAP. There are gunshots in our school

“Hell, someone died. Come now,” the kid texted.

Another student said goodbye to her parents, just in case.

“If i don’t make it I love you and appreciate everything you did for me,” she wrote as she hid for two hours in a school bathroom, according to the Miami Herald.

“Don’t talk that way,” one of her parents responded. “The cops are all over.” The child was safe, South Florida’s WSVN reported.

One dad texted his 14-year-old son this chilling advice: “Play dead.” “All ok?” the dad began the text conversation, according to photos of the parent’s cellphone screens tweeted by the Miami Herald’s Carli Teproff.

“Ben said they heard a couple of gunshots coming from Stoneman douglas.”

“Yeah,” the student answered. “There was a couple I heard too.” “Ok,” the dad responded. “Is it all over? Mom wants to come get you now/ Is that even possible?”

The son responds: “It’s not over we are on lockdown. No it’s not possible. You could get hurt.”

The dad then gave his son a bit of encouragement and some practical pointers.

“OK. Stay safe buddy. Love you,” the dad replied.

“Be safe man. Stay hidden or play dead if there is an active shooter.”

This student, too, was eventually reunited with his folks, Teproff tweeted later. Max Jaeger
