A shooting at a Florida high school has left 20 to 50 people injured or dead, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting started in one classroom at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School and was directed at one student. The teacher in that classroom was debriefed.
The student is in custody and was captured near the school [see video]. The suspect was allegedly online earlier looking at ways to build a bomb.
Senator Bill Nelson told Fox News many have been killed, according to Peter Doocy at Fox News. The school officials reported the same thing. A father said his daughter sent him photos of people dead in the classroom, but that was not confirmed.
The school, about 15 miles west of Fort Lauderdale, is a 9-12 school with over 3200 students.
