Florida School Shooting - 17 Killed by 19 Year-Old Gunman Nikolas Cruz, Condolences by Donald Trump

19 year-old former student of a Florida school gunned down 17 lives on Wednesday afternoon. The gunman has been identified to be Nikolas Cruz, a depressed teenager and a loner who was asked to leave the school campus due to behavioral reasons.

It was around 2:19 pm on Wednesday, classes were running as usual at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. An Uber dropped a 19 year-old grimy looking teenager at the school and within the next 10 minutes he unleashed a severe gun attack at the school. 17 people were killed including children and adults and the entire area went under terror.

The teenager is known as Nikolas Cruz, expelled from the same school last year for threatening students. As per the sources Nikolas is an orphan and has an obsession with guns. He used to be kind of a loner and didn’t have much friends. It has also been known that few students spread this joke about Nikolas Cruz that he’s the one to shoot up the school one day.

Nothing but utter tragedy prevails in Florida at the moment. In fact, the Florida school shooting is considered to be one of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the modern history of US.

The school of around 3000 students will remain closed for the rest of the week.

US President Donald Trump has shared his condolences, “No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.”

Nikolas Cruz who has already confessed to police about carrying out the lethal gun attack, reportedly is not mentally well. Around a year back he was under a mental health treatment, revealed the Mayor of Broward County to CNN.

Nikolas the arrested gunman had the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, countless magazines and smoke grenades. He had set on a false fire alarm so that students would assume it to be a fire drill and come out of their classrooms. Heinous and utterly devilish!
