Jim Gard, who was Cruz’s maths teacher at the school in 2016, said the student appeared to be a “quiet” one. He said that after the shooting, he learned from several students that Cruz was obsessed with a girl at the school to the point of stalking her, the Washington Post reported. The shooting, among the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern US history, revived debate over gun control while American politicians offered their condolences. “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,” US President Dold Trump said. (IANS)
