Nikolas Cruz
A Florida man has pleaded guilty to murdering seventeen people in a 2018 mass shooting at a high school campus in Parkland in the US state.
Nikolas Cruz, 23, also pleaded guilty to 17 counts of attempted murder for those he injured in the attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
He faces the possibility of the death penalty or life in prison.
One of the deadliest school shootings in US history, the incident became a rallying cry for gun control activists.
Cruz was 19 years old when he shot dead 14 students and three employees with an AR-15 rifle at his former school.
The case will now head to a penalty trial in which jurors must determine whether Cruz is spared the death penalty to face life without parole.
