He entered his former high school and killed 17 people and wounded 17 others, sending students running into the streets in panic and terror. Though he was initially unable to flee the scene by dropping his weapons and blending in with the terrified fleeing students, the police identified him through school surveillance footage. He was eventually stopped in Coral Springs Florida, about 79 minutes after the shooting initially began.<ref>[https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-shows-how-the-parkland-florida-school-shooting-unfolded-2018-2 This timeline shows exactly how the Parkland shooting unfolded], ''Business Insider''</ref>

Cruz armed himself with an M&P 15 sport 2 semi-automatic rifle with 30 round magazines. Upon entering the school, he pulled a fire alarm and began shooting at teachers and students. Upon his capture at 3:40 PM, he was sent to the hospital, but then ultimately sent to Broward County Jail.
