President Trump told the family of Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior Meadow Pollack, who died during the shooting at the Parkland, Fla., high school in February, that he and first lady Melania Trump were “resolved to confront the evil” that killed her.
“We will not forget her life, and we are resolved to confront the evil that so senselessly took her from us,” Trump wrote in a letter to the family, according to an image of the note shared by Meadow Pollack’s brother Hunter Pollack on Twitter Monday.

Meadow Pollack, 18, died when a gunman opened fire at the high school, the tragedy claiming 17 lives in total.
Hunter Pollack, his father Andrew Pollack, and his brother Huck Pollack were among those invited to the White House to discuss school safety in the aftermath of the shooting.
During the event, a grieving Andrew Pollack told Trump he was “pissed” he was never going to see his daughter again.
Hunter Pollack on Monday tweeted his gratitude to Trump for listening to his family.
“Thank you @realDonaldTrump for opening the Whitehouse (sic) to my family with open arms. Was great talking about my sisters beauty , and school security with you. Thank you Mr. President,” he wrote.
