At least 20 students were feared hurt in a shooting Wednesday at a high school in Parkland, Florida, as local media reported a student was considered a person of interest.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is under lockdown and police are on the scene after reports of shots fired and potential victims, officials said Wednesday.

According to WSVN, the Margate Fire Rescue team described the scene as a mass casualty incident, meaning at least 20 people had been injured.

The scene, according to a tweet from the Broward Sheriff's Office, was still active and the shooter is still at large.

Dispatch at the sheriff's office confirmed the school was on lockdown and police were on location.

Coral Springs Police asked the public to avoid the area of the high school, saying it was an active scene. A nearby middle school was also put on lockdown as a precaution, officials said.

Authorities also said students and teachers should remain barricaded in the school until they could be reached by police.

A number of students were seen walking or running from the area, the outlet said.

a ‘white hispanic’??????

we must preserve him. There are only two known specimens in the world so far, and, amazingly, both native to Florida! Ponce Deleon would be delighted. Scientists- front and center!

“Suspect was shown on TV in hand cuffs, clean cut guy.”

If you are going to get shot at school, it’s good for your murderer to be clean cut.

Checking lists of school shootings and Wiki currently lists 14 fatalities for today. All other reports just saying ‘multiple fatalities’

Prayers for all the parents who are in pain and uncertainty.

“shooter in custody ... former student Nicolas de Jesus Cruz,..
A teacher at the school told the Miami Herald that Cruz, 19, had been identified as a potential threat to fellow students in the past.

“We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him,” said math teacher Jim Gard, who said the former student suspected in the shootings had been in his class last year. “There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus.”

Sounds Cuban American.

Since he’s white, the fake news media will blame it on Trump’s alt-white nationalism and love of guns.

Guaranteed.
