Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting Victims: How Many Died?

17 people were killed in the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting which occurred on February 14, 2018.

Nikolas Cruz, 19, opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more.

Cruz, a previous student at the school, fled on foot by blending in with other pupils and was apprehended without incident in nearby Coral Springs about an hour later. “A pattern of disciplinary concerns and frightening behaviour” was probed by police and prosecutors.

The shooting spree was the deadliest high school shooting in US history, exceeding the Columbine High School tragedy in Colorado in April 1999, which killed 15, including the perpetrators.

Cruz pleaded guilty to all counts and apologised for his acts on October 20, 2021. Sentencing was set for January 20, 2022. The sentencing was postponed several times, first to February 2022, then to April 2022, then to no sooner than June 21, 2022, and finally to June 27, 2022.
