Law enforcement confirmed that there were 17 casualties and 23 injured in the shooting.

The students are Jaime Guttenberg, Martin Duque, Gina Montalto, Alyssa Alhadeff, Joaquin Oliver, Meadow Pollack, Peter Wang, Nicholas Dworet, Alaina Petty, Carmen Schentrup, Cara Loughran, Luke Hoyer, Alex Schachter, and Helena Ramsay. There were also three adults: assistant football coach Aaron Feis, athletic director Chris Hixon, and geography teacher Scott Beigel.

Feis was an assistant football coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. According to reports, Feis, a former security guard, was one of the first to respond to the shooting. “I heard Aaron say, ‘No, that is not firecrackers.’ That’s the last I heard of him,” said Willis May, the school’s head football coach. Feis survived the shooting but died in the hospital later that day.
It is with Great sadness that our Football Family has learned about the death of Aaron Feis. He was our Assistant Football Coach and security guard. He selflessly shielded students from the shooter when he was shot. He died a hero and he will forever be in our hearts and memories pic.twitter.com/O181FvuHl3
