It all started with an Instagram post.
Less than two weeks after Danny Amendola left the Patriots for the Dolphins, Julian Edelman shared a picture of himself and his former teammate hanging out at the Parlor Room — a bar on Rainey Street in Austin, Texas.
Then he received a direct message: “Dude, there is a kid in your comment section says he s going to shoot up a school, i think you should alert the authority.”
Edelman told Ken Belson of the New York Times he immediately thought of the 17 lives lost in the mass school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
