Family of Hero Killed In Parkland Shooting Join Town Of Huntington For Candlelight Vigil 

Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci will join Linda and Michael Schulman, the parents of slain Half Hollow Hills Graduate Scott Beigel who was killed during the Parkland School shooting on February 14, 2018, and the Half Hollow Hills School District for a candlelight vigil to honor and remember Scott's legacy. Eyewitness accounts describe Mr. Beigel's final moments, where he brought students to safety while shielding them from a barrage of gunfire, saving their lives while placing his own life in jeopardy. The parents will be speaking at the vigil along with local students of the school in which Scott attended.

Scott's selfless actions will be remembered, recognized, and honored by the Town of Huntington and the Half Hollow Hills School District. Schoolteachers and administrators, neighbors, friends, and family will be on hand to light candles and share stories of Scott. Mr. Beigel was one of the 17 killed at Majority Stoneman High School, but was the only Long Island native killed by the lone gunman.

Beigel grew up in Dix Hills and attended Half Hollow Hills High School East. He was 35 at the time of his death and was a teacher at the high school for about six months. The Town of Huntington plans also to recognize this national hero through renaming his childhood street.
