Nikolaus Cruz, a 19-year-old, opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland killing 17 people and injuring more than a dozen on Wednesday.

Cruz had once been expelled from the school for disciplinary reasons.

Parkland is a placid, middle-class community about 72km north of Miami.

“The area accommodates mostly white people. Bangladeshis do not reside there. The perpetrator, Nikolaus, is also a white,” Rahman told bdnews24.com, citing police.
