US school shooting: At least 17 killed as former student opens fire in Florida

A former student armed with an AR-15 rifle opened fire at a high school in Florida on February 14, killing at least 17 people. Nikolas Cruz was arrested after the incident at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. The Valentine's Day bloodshed in the racially diverse Miami suburb of gated communities with palm- and shrub-lined streets was the latest outbreak of gun violence that has become a regular occurrence at schools and college campuses across the United States over the past several years.
