Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting

The law that raised the minimum gun purchase age to 21 was passed as part of a gun reform package following the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which was one of the deadliest shootings in the country.

Under an agreement signed by Circuit Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips, survivor Anthony Borges, the families of slain students Meadow Pollack, Luke Hoyer and Alaina Petty and fellow student survivor Maddy Wilford now control any attempt by shooter Nikolas Cruz to profit off his name or likeness or grant interviews. Each of the five parties has veto power.

A nasty rift between the most seriously wounded survivor of the 2018 Parkland school massacre and some families of the 17 murdered has erupted in court.

When demolition at the 1200 building of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School began last month, language arts teacher Sarah Lerner was there. She was on campus six years ago too, the day the massacre happened. “It really is ... that last piece of the puzzle, and now we can all collectively move forward," she told WLRN.

Six years later, the site of one of the worst school shootings in the nation is getting demolished — but with it, comes mixed feelings in the Parkland community, who want to remember victims while letting go of painful memories.

Each year, people across South Florida gather to remember the 17 people who were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. For the victims' families, marking the day doesn't get easier. But seeing the community come together to honor their loved ones can be a source of strength.

The National Rifle Association has lost more than a million members in the years since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Organizers with the gun control group March For Our Lives say it's proof that survivors from Parkland and beyond "are a force to be reckoned with."

Authorities told Miami's WPLG-TV Local 10 that Saturday was the last day people would be able to tour the building, which has been preserved as evidence.

Local law enforcement agencies in Broward County have been waiting eight months for the school district to reimburse them for the work of school resource officers. After tense negotiations, the Broward School Board agreed to a contract that would substantially increase reimbursement rates.

The Broward County school district contracts with local law enforcement agencies to have a school resource officer (SRO) on every campus. But the district isn't paying the bill for those services, according to one local police chief.

Diana Haneski says if she thought about all of the children killed by guns since the 2018 Parkland shooting, she would be paralyzed with grief. So she focuses on what she can do — help the students who are at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School now.

A nature preserve near the Everglades will soon be home to a memorial for the 17 people who were killed five years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Families of those killed say they should be remembered for how they lived, not just how they died.
