Florida Governor Rick Scott said Thursday that he will discuss with state leaders ways to make sure that parents know their children will be safe at school.
HORROR AND HEROIC ACTS
The suspected gunman, captured shortly after the shooting, was identified as Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old student at the school who was expelled for unspecified disciplinary reasons.
Cruz was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and multiple ammunition magazines, police said. He fired shots outside a school building and then followed others running back inside it, where people who had heard the shots were taking shelters.
Tyra Hemans, a 12th grade student who was inside the building, told Xinhua that she couldn't believe it when hearing the gun shots but immediately ran for covers.
The gunman reportedly targeted those huddled in classrooms and then tried to leave the scene with a group of evacuating students, but was unsuccessful in the attempt.
Hemans said the she knew some of the victims, including the assistant football coach Aaron Feis who threw himself in front of students in order to shield them from being shot. She came back to the school Thursday noon along with others.
Feis "selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot," the school's football program tweeted. "He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories."
Borward County Sheriff Scott Israel said that an armed resource deputy was at the school's campus, but that deputy never encountered Cruz.
