The deadly high school shooting in Florida has left 17 people dead and dozens wounded. Victims were sent to a nearby hospital. A doctor there said some victims remain in critical condition.
EVAN BOYER MEDICAL DIRECTOR, BROWARD HEALTH NORTH "We currently have three patients in the hospital. One with an extremity wound who is doing well and working with physical therapy. Another patient who's still intubated after penetrating trauma to the chest and a third patient that remains intubated in critical condition."
The shooter has been identified as ex-student Nikolas Cruz, who was expelled for disciplinary reasons. Police say he walked into the high school and opened fire on students and teachers. Afterwards, Cruz fled, hidden among the crowd of frightened students, and visited two fast food restaurants before being arrested less than two hours after the massacre.
