UK Daily Mail . . . "Cruz was armed with at least one AR-15 rifle, had 'multiple magazines' and smoke grenades when he stormed the school wearing a gas mask, according to the sheriff.
"Investigators are now looking into whether Cruz may have pulled the fire alarm to draw people into halls so he could get a higher death toll.
"Florida does have the death penalty though it is too early to consider sentencing as charges have not yet been made public against Cruz.
"The first victim of the mass shooting has been identified as 46-year-old athletic director Chris Hixon.
"A number of students have said they thought they heard the fire alarm right before the first shots were fired. The school had already had a fire drill earlier that day, leaving many of the students confused.
"Authorities have already started dissecting his social media accounts and reported that some of things he had been posting was 'very disturbing'." . . .
. . . "Police said the gunman started firing before he entered the school building and left behind a deadly trail.
"Twelve of the people shot dead were found dead inside the school building, two more were killed just outside the school and another in a nearby street. Two other people died later after being rushed to hospital." . . .
. . . "Meanwhile, horrifying video filmed from inside a classroom captured the moment the shooter, who was wearing a gas mask, burst in and began shooting at his fellow students as they screamed in terror.
"The students were spotted sitting or lying on the classroom floor, trying to avoid being hit, as rapid gunfire was heard nearby. One girl's hysterical screams were suddenly cut off during the shocking clip." . . . Full article here
