RadioOnFire.com - Update:

At least 17 people were killed during a school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, about an hour North of Miami, making it the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history since the Newtown, Connecticut.

The 19-year-old suspect, who was a former student at the school, was taken into custody without a fight about an hour after the shooting.------------------------

The suspect in a deadly high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, is in custody, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.
A shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Broward caused "numerous" fatalities, Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said. He did not know the exact number.

Law enforcement responded to reports of a shooting at the school shortly before 3 p.m.

Aerial footage from WSVN showed a number of people lying on the ground outside the school, being treated for injuries and moved to ambulances. As students streamed away from the school, some ran while others walked quickly in orderly lines with their hands on or above their heads.


Nicole Baltzer, 18, said she was in trigonometry class about 10 minutes before the end of the school day when the fire alarm went off. As students evacuated, she heard six gunshots and everyone started running back inside the school, Baltzer told CNN's Sara Ganim.
"I heard so many gunshots, at least like six. They were very close," Baltzer said.
Baltzer said she is still on lockdown in a classroom on the second floor. Her stepsister is also on lockdown in a different classroom, she said.
"Everyone just started freaking out," a student told CNN affiliate WSVN.
"We all thought it was a fire drill because we had one previously today," he said. "And we thought it was, so no one was that nervous, but then word started going around that it was shots and not just, like, something else, everyone just started running towards the canal."
