A Florida high school is under lockdown Wednesday as the Broward Sheriff’s Office says a gunman remains at large.
Officials have described the scene at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland as a mass casualty incident, and say at least 20 people are injured.
President Trump tweeted that his “prayers and condolences” are with the families of those affected by the shooting, and said: “No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.”
