‘Number of fatalities’ after shooting at Parkland, Florida, high school

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-respond-shooting-parkland-florida-high-school-n848101

What gets me they say this is the 18th school shooting this year. Yet we have only heard of a couple of them. So the mass casualty rate is the only way the media will report this? Why not take the gun free zone away from the schools. Obviously the many school shootings that have happened., those bad guys didn't care. Heck I can't even secure mine in a lock box in my van to take my son to school. I have to leave it at home, then drive a few miles back home and head off to work.. If I get called to pick him up, same thing. Drive home drop off the gun then go... Not per se because I might get caught. It is more the fact my son has a big mouth and can't grasp the concept of keep your mouth shut.

Very sad. Praying for everyone

Sad indeed...... prayers out.

So sad. Prayers and thoughts sent.

Prayers Sent.

I drive by that school every day. Students are telling locals that the shooter was a known wacko and no one would do anything about it.

Edge he IS a whacko as he's still alive. But yes many 'knew' if it did happen it would be him who did it.

All the signs were there. Just nobody paid attn to them.

Quote:

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.
Matthew Walker, a 17-year-old student at the school, told WFOR-TV that all his classmates 'knew it was going to be him.'
'A lot of people were saying it was going to be him,' he said. 'A lot of kids threw jokes around saying that he was going to be the one to shoot up the school. It turns out that everyone predicted it. That's crazy.'
'He was going class to class just shooting at random kids,' he said. 'Everything he posts (on social media) is about weapons. It's sick.'
Math teacher Jim Gard, who taught Cruz last year, told the Miami Herald: 'We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him. There were problems with him last year threatening students and I guess he was asked to leave campus.'

I can't post the Daily Mail link to the above?
