A gunman opened fire at a South Florida high school at the end of the school day Wednesday, leaving 17 people dead and more than a dozen injured in one of the deadliest U.S. school shootings.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference that the suspect, who is in custody, is 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled for disciplinary reasons. The sheriff said that the suspect had “countless” gun magazines and one “AR-type rifle.” The suspect was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder Thursday morning after being questioned for hours by state and federal authorities.
