(16 Feb 2018) Students gathered outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., some carrying white balloons, to mourn the lives lost in Wednesday’s deadly school shooting that claimed 17 lives.
Friends said senior Joaquin Oliver was among the students killed at the Florida high school.
Nineteen-year-old Tyra Hemans, a senior, said they had been friends since they were freshmen.
She was outside the school Thursday holding up two signs, one about gun control and the other about coach Aaron Feis and Joaquin, widely known by his nickname, "Guac," short for "guacamole."
Hemans said she last saw her friend at school the day of the shooting.
Freshman Isaac Briones carried white balloons as he recalled the events of the day of the shooting.
“It all happened so fast,” he said.
