After a gunman bore down on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Maddy Wilford lay bleeding from three bullet wounds, so pale that officers responding to the carnage first thought she was dead. One of them shook her, hoping for a response, said Lt. Laz Ojeda of the Coral Springs Fire Department, who responded to the school that morning. “She made signs of life,” he said.
