Fourteen people were killed in a shootout at a high school in the United States, the worst in 25 years in the United States, local authorities said Wednesday. The shooter was arrested to find out that he was born in September 1998 and had been a former student at the school and had been dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
Sheriff County of Broward, Florida, killed at least 17 people when a 19-year-old boy opened fire on Wednesday in a high school in the southeast of the state, in a shooting that is among the worst in 25 years in the United States.
The shooter was identified and identified as Nicolaus Cruz, born in September 1998, whose publications on social media were considered "extremely disturbing". He was armed with an E-15 machine gun.
"The shooter is now in detention," Sherbrooke County Sheriff's Office said on Twitter.
The facts took place just before the end of classes at Marjorie Stonemann Douglas High School in Parkland, in the southern part of the state.
"It seems to be a terrible day for us," District Supervisor Robert Ronsey told CNN.
"We have not received any warning or any indication" of a threat.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced that it is assisting local police in the investigation.
Scott Esrail, sheriff of Broward County, said the shooter was a former school student who had been dismissed for disciplinary reasons. He was later arrested in the nearby Coral Springs area, he said.
The weapon that was used in the shooting is a weapon that is much easier to obtain in most of the United States.
CBS, a video that appears to have been filmed in a classroom, has been heard in which shots are heard in succession. Students are also shown under their seats or lying silently while a scream is heard further away.
Dozens of students were seen waving their hands in the air, others clasping their hands behind their heads as they walked behind each other from Marjorie Stonemann Douglas High School, according to pictures broadcast on local television channels.
"The fire alarm was launched, and we thought it was training, because we had previously seen the wrong warning that there was a fire," one student told TVSNV 7 News. "Suddenly we heard shots in The other side of the school. "
Ambulances and firefighters, as well as several police cars and armored vehicles, were stationed near the school, and several victims were evacuated by helicopter.
The school had 3,000 students in 2014.

The White House confirmed that US President Donald Trump had been "told to shoot inside a school in Florida." "We are watching the situation."
"No child, teacher or anyone should be at risk in an American school."
Wednesday's tragedy is the latest in a long series of bloody shootings in the United States in recent years.
