BBC News: Florida shooting: At least 17 dead in high school attack
At least 17 people have been killed in a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, police say.
The suspect has been named as Nikolaus Cruz, 19, and is a former student at the school who had been expelled.
Cruz, who was armed with "multiple magazines", began the shooting spree outside the school before opening fire inside, according to officials.
It is one of the deadliest school shootings since 20 children were killed at a Connecticut school in 2012.
--------------------------------
The 2012 atrocity is called the "Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting".
The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza[9][10] fatally shot 20 children between six and seven years old, as well as six adult staff members. Prior to driving to the school, he shot and killed his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the scene, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

In 2012 one of the students, a 6 year old girl, ran from the school, covered in blood, and was the first child to escape the building. When she reached her mother, she said, "Mommy, I'm okay, but all my friends are dead."
