17 Dead in Florida School Shooting

Florida Shooting 300x169

(AP) PARKLANDFlorida–A law enforcement official says the former student suspected of killing at least 17 people at a Florida high school posted “very, very disturbing material on social media before the deadly shooting rampage. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said the suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz had been expelled from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for unspecified disciplinary reasons. Israel says investigators were dissecting the suspect’s social media posts. Victoria Olvera, a 17-year-old junior, says Cruz was expelled last school year after a fight with his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. School officials said Cruz was attending another school in Broward County after his expulsion. Dakota Mutchler, a 17-year-old junior said “I think everyone had in their minds if anybody was going to do it, it was going to be him.”
