The shooting was allegedly perpetrated by 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student who had been expelled for "disciplinary reasons."
Shortly after news of the shooting broke, Trump offered his condolences to the affected families and said he was coordinating with the Florida governor's office and law enforcement to resolve the situation.
My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.
