Parkland school shooting

It's not a new debate — but could showing graphic evidence of mass school shootings change public opinion on gun laws?

It was a brutal and emotional end to the prosecution’s case against the confessed Parkland shooter. Jurors visited the school building where the massacre happened — seeing with their own eyes the bloodstains and bullet holes preserved at the crime scene — and heard the final victim impact statements from loved ones of those who were murdered.

Jurors in the trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz were taken to see the still blood-spattered rooms of a three-story building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — an extremely rare visit to a crime scene sealed off four years ago.

A grieving father erupted in anger as he told jurors about his daughter who was murdered four years ago, along with 16 others, by Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz.

"The court is allowing some victims to leave before displaying graphic videos.”

Family members from three of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz’s 17 victims gave heartrending testimony Monday about how their 2018 deaths at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have affected their lives, detailing lost loves, lost moments and even fading memories.

Few Americans outside law enforcement and government ever see the most graphic videos or photos from the nation’s worst mass shootings. But during the penalty trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz, surveillance videos and crime scene photos are being seen by jurors and journalists.

Crime scene investigators and medical examiners detailed the victims' injuries in graphic detail during the sixth day of the death penalty trial.

Three police officers testified Friday that they found dead, dying and wounded students minutes after Nikolas Cruz fled Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The jury began hearing testimonies this week for Nikolas Cruzes penalty trial, and will decide if he lives or dies. Also, the Miami-Dade school board rejected the health education curriculum for middle and high schools students that they previously approved, meaning students will not have sex education classes.

Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz walked casually into a sandwich shop minutes after he murdered 14 students and three staff members at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four years ago, showing no signs of stress or nervousness, video played at his penalty trial Thursday showed.

Day 3 of the trial continued with more brutal testimonies from survivors of the shooting.
