Florida authorities have charged a 19-year-old man with 17 counts of murder after he gunned down dozens of students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland Florida, a wealthy community about an hour north of Miami.
Nicholas Cruz was booked into Broward county Jail after doctors cleared him at the same local hospital where his injured victims were transported.
Police say Cruz was expelled from the high school for making threats, and he was ordered not to return to the campus with a backpack. his threats were reported to the local FBI office in Florida, and local authorities were also made aware of his domestic threats before the tragedy.
Cruz was a troubled youth who lost his mother to cancer last year. he was staying with family who took him in after he was expelled from school.
