Former student Nikolas Cruz, 19, entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas
High School in Parkland armed with an assault rifle and began shooting
just after 2pm yesterday February 14th.
Investigators are now looking into whether Cruz may have pulled the fire alarm to draw people into halls so he could get a higher death toll. Broward Sheriff Scott Israel confirmed that 17 people had been killed and dozens more were injured.
Cruz was armed with at least one AR-15 rifle and had 'multiple magazines' when he stormed the school, according to the sheriff.
The teenager had been expelled from the school for unknown 'disciplinary reasons'.
Authorities have already started dissecting his social media accounts and reported that some of things he had been posting was 'very disturbing'.
Traumatized students said that once they heard reports of a mass shooting at the school they knew it would be Cruz, while one teacher said he had been identified as a potential threat to his classmates last year.

A teenage female student and a track coach have been identified as
the first of the 17 victims killed when a 19-year-old gunman opened fire
at a Florida high school on Valentine's day.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, opened fire Wednesday afternoon as students ran for their lives. He ended up killing at least 17 adults and children, and at least 50 people were injured. Student Jaime Guttenburg and teacher Chris Hixon, 49, were among those killed.
Jaime Guttenburg's parents Fred and Jennifer Guttenberg said she died in the shooting, while their son, Jesse, made it home.
Until his death yesterday, Chris Hixon was a teacher at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School. Hixon's colleague coach Aaron Feis was
among those fighting for his life after being hailed a hero for
shielding students from gunfire in the deadly massacre. Feis was injured
during the shooting and had been protecting students from the attack,
according to the Miami Herald.
Tributes poured in for Hixon. Coral Springs High School athletic
director Dan Jacob, who knew Hixon through wrestling coaching, told the
Sun-Sentinel: "Chris is probably the nicest guy I have ever met. He
would give you the shirt off his back. He does so much. That is terrible
that it would happen to anybody. It is so senseless."
