A school shooter entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High (MSD) School and opened fire with a long rifle. Within approximately 7 minutes, 34 people were killed or injured. The Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department, Coral Springs Police Department (CSPD), and the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) would be among the first of multiple emergency responding agencies arriving to asses and mitigate the incident. In total, 17 students and staff were killed.

Two of the 19 patients were later declared deceased. The shooter was in the 1200 building for a total of 7 minutes and 17 seconds, actively shooting for approximately 3 minutes and 49 seconds.
