<\/p>\nCentral Florida family says they were on campus the day of Brown University shooting<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTONIGHT OF A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE SHOOTING AT BROWN UNIVERSITY OVER THE WEEKEND. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A PICTURE OF A MAN IN A MASK AND A BEANIE. POLICE BELIEVE THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE AREA FOR HOURS BEFORE THE SHOOTING. THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF TWO STUDENTS AND INJURED NINE MORE. THIS HAPPENED AS ONE LOCAL FAMILY WAS ON CAMPUS. WESH 2\u2019S HAYLEY CROMBLEHOLME IS LIVE AFTER SPEAKING EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE FATHER TONIGHT AND HAYLEY. THEY WERE JUST VISITING THE SCHOOL. YEAH THAT\u2019S RIGHT. SO THE WHOLE MILLER FAMILY WAS THERE. TWO OF THE SONS, THEIR LAKE HIGHLAND GRADUATES, THEY WERE ACTUALLY STUDENTS AT BROWN THIS SEMESTER, AND THEIR OTHER SON, WHO\u2019S A STUDENT AT EDGEWATER. HE WAS THERE WITH HIS PARENTS, MAKING AN OFFICIAL VISIT. NOW THE WHOLE FAMILY, THEY\u2019RE OKAY, BUT AT LEAST ONE OF THE SONS KNEW SOMEONE WHO WAS HURT. AND IT WAS ALMOST LIKE YOU DIDN\u2019T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. SAMUEL MILLER SAID. HE WAS ON CAMPUS AT BROWN UNIVERSITY THE DAY A SHOOTER KILLED TWO STUDENTS ON CAMPUS AND INJURED NINE OTHERS. YOU NEVER, EVER. YOU CAN\u2019T SIMULATE PUTTING YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION. MILLER AND HIS WIFE WERE THERE WITH THEIR THREE SONS, SON, SAMUEL AND SOLOMON WERE LAKE HIGHLAND GRADUATES. ONE GRADUATED FROM BROWN THIS MONTH. THE OTHER IS SET TO GRADUATE IN MAY, AND THEIR LITTLE BROTHER SAPHIR, A SENIOR AT EDGEWATER, IS COMMITTED TO BROWN FOR NEXT FALL TO JOIN THE FOOTBALL TEAM. LIKE HIS BROTHERS, THE FAMILY WAS ALL ON CAMPUS FOR SEVIER\u2019S OFFICIAL VISIT, MILLER SAID. WHEN THE FAMILY WAS IN THE ATHLETIC CENTER, THEY FOUND OUT SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLY WRONG. EVERYBODY\u2019S PHONES BLEW UP AND, YOU KNOW, THE COACHES DID A REALLY GREAT JOB OF CORRALLING EVERYBODY AND MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, NOBODY LEFT THE BUILDING, LIKE KIND OF FREEZE IN PLACE TYPE THING AND THEN ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, WE WERE IN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER SITUATION, MILLER SAID. EVERYONE WAS TAKEN TO A CENTRAL LOCATION INSIDE, AND THEY DIDN\u2019T LEAVE THE BUILDING FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS AFTER THE SHOOTING. IT\u2019S SOMETHING PEOPLE HOPE NEVER TO EXPERIENCE. BUT HE WAS GRATEFUL HE COULD BE WITH HIS KIDS. I CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING BEEN A PARENT AND WATCHING THE NEWS AND HAVING MY CHILDREN IN THAT ENVIRONMENT AND NOT KNOWING, YOU KNOW, WHERE THEY ARE, IF THEY\u2019RE OKAY, WHAT\u2019S GOING ON WITH THEM? HE DOESN\u2019T THINK HE SLEPT THAT NIGHT. I\u2019M SO HAPPY THAT MY KIDS ARE OKAY. AND IT WAS MORE LIKE THAT KIND OF OVERWHELMING EMOTION THAT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN THEN THE OTHER EMOTION OF MY GOD, LIKE THE KIDS THAT THAT DIDN\u2019T MAKE IT HOME. AND THEN THE, THE SHEER, YOU KNOW, THE TRANSITION OF, OF EMOTION TO ANGER THAT THIS COWARDLY ACT HAS TAKEN PLACE. HIS SONS ARE ALL HOME NOW. AND HE SAID THEY\u2019RE STILL PROCESSING WHAT HAPPENED. ONE OF THEM SET TO RETURN TO CAMPUS NEXT SEMESTER TO SAY THAT HE\u2019S UNAFFECTED. I DON\u2019T THINK THAT THAT\u2019S A REALITY. I THINK THAT HE\u2019S FOREVER AFFECTED, AND I THINK THAT IT\u2019S GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY HE OPERATES IN PUBLIC SPACES FOREVER. I THINK IT\u2019S THE SAME WITH SAMUEL. AND AND I THINK THAT\u2019S AN EYE OPENER FOR HER GOING INTO IT. NOW, UNDERSTANDABLY, THE FAMILY RETURNED TO CENTRAL FLORIDA EARLY, AND AT THIS POINT, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHOOTING\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
