This is absolutely horrifying. Nothing like going to school on Valentine's Day and worrying about getting shot.
Local media are now reporting that the shooter is in custody.
How many people have to die until we approach gun control?

The Broward Sheriff’s Office has told news outlets the shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Open school..public can just walk in and go anywhere in the school.
The school had no secure boarded. But its gun control
These families will never recover. our hearts and prays go out to them.
Gun control is not the answer as it is not the gun that makes the decision to engage in violence but rather the trigger puller.
This is naturally a very tragic situation, of course.
I suppose, but I don't believe civilians should own semi automatic weapons. Florida has some of the most lax gun laws in the country. There is no required permit to carry. "When drugs flood an area, people die like flies from overdoses. Is that a people problem? No. It's a drug problem."
I agree with you that we should be assessing mental health.
