School shooter sentenced to death

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a young man who gunned down 17 people at his former high school in Parkland, Florida went on trial, with jurors set to hand down either the death penalty or a life sentence.

Nikolas Cruz took an AR-15 assault rifle into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day in 2018 and killed 17 students and staff members.

Cruz - who was 19 at the time - has already pleaded guilty to 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted murder for those wounded during the massacre.
