Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia noted that there have been 22 school shootings in the United States in 2018 and three of them occurred in the past week alone.

"How many times must our hearts break hearing news like this," Kaine tweeted. "This has to stop."

"More tragic bloodshed & heartbreak caused by cruel gun violence," said Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. "Congress is complicit."

The February shooting in Parkland has rekindled the country's debate and movement over gun control but no major federal gun controls have been imposed since then.

"Santa Fe High, you didn't deserve this," wrote Stoneman Douglas student Emma Gonzalez, a vocal survivor of the Parkland shooting.

"You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you," added Gonzalez, also an organizer of the "March for Our Lives" rally in Washington D.C. in March.

"My heart is so heavy for the students of Santa Fe High School," wrote fellow Parkland student Corin.

"It's an all too familiar feeling no one should have to experience. I am so sorry this epidemic touched your town - Parkland will stand with you now and forever," Corin said.

An unnamed police also confirmed that explosives were found at the campus of Santa Fe High School.

The gunman, who was taken into custody on murder charges, was identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old junior at the school.
