'Forced to relive the grief of a gunman on my campus': Student who survived Parkland school massacre is now caught up in UNC shooting where postgrad 'killed' his professor

 

 Bella Miller (left), a student athlete at UNC, was a freshman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida (inset) in February 2018 when former pupil Nikolas Cruz slaughtered 17 children and teachers in one of America's deadliest high school shootings. She went on to pursue higher education and athletics at Michigan State University as a gymnast, before announcing in 2021 that she had transferred to UNC to join their athletic roster. But Bella is now forced to come to terms with another shooting on her school campus after fellow UNC student Tailei Qi (bottom right) was charged with the first degree murder of his academic advisor, Zijie Yan (top right). The 34-year-old grad student was studying for his PhD before the alleged murder on Monday. 'Is this really happening to me again? During my freshman year of HS, my Parkland community lost 17 angels,' Bella wrote on social media site X (inset). 'Today, I am having to relive the grief and unease of a shooter on my campus once again. My heart goes out to my Chapel Hill family today. I know how hard these times can be.'
