Florida school shooting victims identified
An afternoon press conference with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office revealed the identities of the 17 victims that died in the Florida high school shooting.
ABC 17 previously reported former student Nikolas Cruz entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and shot students and teachers on Wednesday afternoon.
“My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school,” US President Donald Trump said.
The victims are:
Alyssa Alhadeff Nicholas Dworet Aaron Feis Luke Hoyer Cara Loughram Joaquin Olwer Meadow Pollack Alex Schachter Peter Wang Scott Beigel Martin Duque Jamie Guttenberg Chris Hixon Gina Montalto Carmen Schentrup Alaina Petty Helena Ramsey
In the press conference, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office revealed the Cruz got to the school by an Uber. After the shooting, Cruz was later accused of trying to blend in with the groups of people who were running to safety.
Officers said Cruz went to a Walmart and a McDonalds before he was arrested.
Deputies said the investigation is on-going.
