On Feb. 14, 2018, 17 students and staff members were killed in a school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. It was the deadliest high school shooting in United States history. School was just letting out on Valentine's Day when the rampage started. It lasted 6 minutes and 20 seconds.
The victims ranged from 14-year-old freshmen to a 49-year-old athletic director. Seventeen others were wounded.
The shooting had a profound impact on the sports world. Swimmer Ryan Lochte dedicated his 2020 Olympic run to fallen swimmer Nick Dworet. Major League Baseball teams wore Stoneman Douglas caps during part of spring training. Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, an MSD grad, gave an emotional speech at a prayer vigil the day after the shooting. "Though I don't have all the answers," Rizzo said, "I know that something has to change before this is visited on another community and another community and another community."
One of the first things a person sees when arriving on the school's sprawling, 45-acre campus is a Ghandi quote affixed in the front of the building. "Be the change you wish to see in the world," it says. Over the past five months, the students of Stoneman Douglas have marched on Washington, lobbied at the state capitol in Florida and started a movement in the hopes that Feb. 14 will never happen again. -- Elizabeth Merrill, ESPN Senior Writer
