Stoneman Douglas High School this afternoon. Theres a lot going on that ends up going into this type of a horrific act. Were going to unpack all aspects of it. But we have to begin with the very latest on the stilldeveloping story. Lets go to the scene in parkland, florida. Phil. Good evening, laura. The high school is about a quarter of a mile behind me. It remains a crime scene. There are still 12 fatalities inside the high school. 12 out of 17 in total. And 12 of the 17 have been positively identified. That means that the Sheriffs Department is still trying to positively id five of these victims who are described as children and including adults. We presume this is a mixture of students and teachers, mostly students. This happened in a high school at 2 30 pm this afternoon, near the end of the school day, valentines day. And witnesses heard pop, pop, pops. They thought they were balloons popping, but they were not. They were the beginning of a horrific worst shooting in Broward Coun
The victims revealed tonight. The hero teachers and the football coach. Sacrificing their lives to shield their students from the gunfire. And our interview tonight with the survivors.

What he says about Mental Health and the question he did not answer about guns. Good evening on this thursday night. And we are here in florida, where a dark and troubling portrait has now emerged about the horror that played out here a little more than 24 hours ago. You can see the massive presence here behind me, authorities are still here on the scene of this school, the buildings from that large campus, right behind those trucks here behind us, where children piled into closets, hiding in silence, texting their parents. So many of the students telling me today that they told their parents they thought they were going to die. Tonight here, new video from i

The Police Officer rescued, and the whiplash in the northeast. From record warmth to snow. The track right now. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a thursday night. And we begin with two major headlines in the wake of that Deadly School shooting in florida. What we just learned moments ago about an armed deputy who arrived at the building as the shooting was taking place. And tonight, the president standing by his suggestion that some teachers in this country be armed. Suggesting highly trained ones who might get bonuses for having a weapon and being ready to respond. The reaction to this idea has been swift tonight, and we have it all covered, beginnin
Back from Law Enforcement. And a classic in the olympics. The shootout needed in the womens ice hockey. Wait until you see the move that finished the game. Welcome to early start. Im christine romans. What a game. Im Alex Marquardt in for dave briggs. It was a powerful day yesterday of nationwide advocacy by survivors and families and gun control supporters following the florida shooting. The day was capped off by the emotional cnn town hall on gun violence. Signs that some marginal change may be possible. Florida senator marco rubio was the only republican willing to face his critics. He says he now backs raising the minimum age for owning a rifle from 18 to 21. In this country, if you are 18 years of age, you should not be able to buy a rifle. I will support a law. Traditionally i have not looked at looking at magazine clip size. After this and some details i learned, im reconsidering that position and ill tell you why. Ill tell you why. Because while it may not prevent an attack, bu
