Shoes, backpacks, keys and phones were lost and strewn across the University of Florida's Turlington Plaza Monday due to an abrupt end to the “Unity with Israel” vigil that left dozens injured.
In the days that followed, one important item still hasn't been recovered: someone's dog.
The candlelight vigil meant to honor and pray for those affected by the current war in Israel ended when hundreds of students and other area residents were sent into panic as they attempted to run from what was a perceived threat. Dozens of students were injured and trampled during what some described as a stampede. Campus police have since said the ordeal was a misunderstanding from students already on edge after someone yelled out “911” when someone fainted.
