Mass causalities in school shooting in Parkland, Florida (UPDATE)

In Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of Parkland, Florida, a school shooting has occurred. There are mass causalities. Various news services and TV news feeds gives a number of 17 as dead. 14 plus students have been hurt and 5 are in serious condition.  Since the school is still being swept exact numbers are unknown but will change as more is known.

The shooter is in custody and he is supposedly was at one time a student. He was arrested a couple of miles away from the school  According to students on TV news feeds, the school shooter had an Instagram account.  On this account, there were supposedly pictures of his knives and gun according to students who knew him on news feeds as they were being interviewed. This points out the need to speak up if something is not right.

Pray for the families and friends of the dead and injured.  Pray for the uninjured students. The shock  and memory of this will be will be with them for life.  If you do not pray, please keep all in your positive thoughts.
