On Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman took the lives of 17 students and faculty members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.Although no one will attend classes there again, the bullet-pocked halls and classrooms have been preserved as a crime scene, as the legal system addresses what to do with the Parkland school killer.
Thousands attend a vigil for the Parkland school shooting victims, at the Udine Amphitheatre in Pine Trails Park in Parkland on Feb. 15, 2018. School shooters in Columbine and Sandy Hook committed suicide on the spot. But Cruz survived, escaping unnoticed from the Stoneman Douglas campus before being arrested later that afternoon. And so for the next six months or so, the focus will be on Cruz, his five minutes and 32 seconds of gunfire in Building 12, and the cascade of misfortunes, mishaps and errors that led up to that day.
Cruz entered the first-floor hallway and started shooting, killing freshmen Martin Duque, Luke Hoyer and Gina Montalto. Then he turned his attention to the classrooms.The next few minutes were a nightmare of gunshots, smoke and blaring fire alarms. Teachers crowded students into the safest corners of classrooms, urging them to remain silent, as they waited in dread for the killer to reach their door. 911 operators began to receive whispered calls from inside the building.
Athletic director Chris Hixon saw Cruz in a hallway and ran toward him in an apparent attempt to disarm him. Cruz shot him. The wounded athletic director crawled behind a wall but Cruz found him and shot him again. On the third floor, geography teacher and cross-country coach Scott Beigel hurriedly unlocked his classroom
That night another horrific scene unfolded at the Coral Springs Marriott at Heron Bay, designated as the place for families to reunite and learn what happened to loved ones. But while Peterson drew national ridicule as the “coward of Broward,” his BSO colleagues, from deputies to Sheriff Scott Israel, did little to enhance their agency’s reputation.
“I made the decision to go in with my handgun,” Coral Springs Sgt. Scott Myers said. “… I made the conscious decision to run in with my handgun instead of arming myself with the rifle, knowing full-well that the rifle was one thousand times better than the handgun. ... I had to make the decision that seconds mattered.”
this framing is depraved but i guess that's the lazy thirsty angle we get now that tribune publishing has been picked over by a hedge fund
My sister-in-law survived Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School Parkland School shooting on the edge of the Everglades, The River of Grass. Florida needs GUN CONTROL, and to get rid of the radicalized racist racketeering Republicans in Tallahassee. Vote the bums out.
it’s gonna blow your mind when you realize tax payers also pay for death penalties
this is incredibly bizzare framing since the execution would also be done at public expense. like it's really weird to be using this framing when talking about someone's life, even when the person is deplorable
