Stoneman Douglas High School shooting

On February 14, 2018, at 8:18 pm GMT, a shooting occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, United States. It was near dismissal time when staff and students heard gunfire and enacted a "code red" lock down. At least 17 people were killed and many others injured. Originally, 20 people were reportedly injured, and the alleged shooter was in custody with the Broward County Sheriff's Office. 
The suspect was transported to a local hospital for unknown reasons. He was transported from that hospital by the Sheriff's Office shortly thereafter. The shooter was later identified by police as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, who was preivously expelled from the school. The weapon used was a semi-automatic rifle.
President Donald Trump tweeted "Prayers and condolences. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school". Demonstrations and petitions toward gun control were in effect, following the shooting.
On October 20, 2021, Cruz pleaded guilty to all charges and apologized for his actions. Sentencing is expected in January 2022. He could face the death penalty or life imprisonment.
