A fight broke out, with several teens cornering and attacking one individual. The disturbing video footage shows the victim being forcefully thrown to the ground, resulting in a fractured skull.
Witness Patrick Fox stated, “I was there when they started chasing him, but when I left, he was just in an ambulance leaving, so I heard that he got he fractured his skull or something,” according to WSVN. As of Friday, the injured student was recovering at home.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Robert Gurkle expressed his disbelief, saying, “This is crazy to me. No one deserves that. It’s nuts that it even happened.”

Barrington Leefatt, the father of one suspect, claimed that the victim “is not innocent, I’m telling you,” according to WPLG. He further stated, “[My son] was attacked first. I have video of that.”
“My son is the victim here,” Leefatt added.
Arrest warrants revealed that the victim had a previous altercation with some of the suspects earlier in the week and had requested a friend to accompany him to the parking lot after school.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas Principal Michelle Kefford expressed her stance on the matter, stating, ”We continue to work closely with the Coral Springs Police Department to ensure all those responsible receive appropriate consequences. We are also doing everything we can through District processes to ensure these students do not return to our campus.”
Although the Marjory Douglas Stoneman school campus remains open, the building where the tragic shooting occurred in 2018 has been closed and is scheduled for demolition at the end of the current school year, according to the Associated Press.

What factors should be considered when making a decision on whether to try the suspects as adults or juveniles in this case?
D for the future. The debate over whether these suspects should be tried as adults is ongoing.
The incident that unfolded in Florida has shocked the community and raised concerns about the safety and well-being of students. It is disturbing to witness such violence, particularly in a school setting where young people should feel safe and protected.
According to eyewitnesses and video footage, a group of individuals cornered and attacked a student, ultimately causing him to suffer a fractured skull. The brutal nature of the attack is deeply alarming and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
It is disheartening to hear about such acts of violence among teenagers, especially when it leads to serious injuries. The victim is now recovering at home, but the psychological and physical trauma he endured will likely have a lasting impact on his life.
One of the suspects has already turned himself in to the police, and four other individuals have been arrested. These arrests are an important step towards bringing justice for the victim and holding the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
The question of whether these suspects should be tried as adults is a complex and divisive issue. On one hand, treating them as adults would send a strong message that such acts of violence will not be tolerated, regardless of age. On the other hand, some may argue that these individuals are still teenagers and should be given a chance at rehabilitation and reform.
It is essential to consider the nature of the crime, the age of the suspects, and the potential for rehabilitation when making such a decision. The court will ultimately determine the appropriate course of action based on these factors, taking into account both the seriousness of the offense and the potential for these young individuals to change.
In the meantime, it is crucial for schools and communities to address the underlying issues that contribute to such acts of violence. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting a safe and inclusive environment for all students, where conflicts can be resolved peacefully and without resorting to violence.
Education about empathy, conflict resolution, and respect for one another’s differences should be prioritized in schools to prevent future incidents of this nature. Students must be taught the value of compassion and understanding, as well as the consequences of their actions.
Ultimately, the incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing violence among teenagers. It is not enough to simply respond to individual incidents; we must work towards creating a society where such acts are unthinkable.
As the legal process unfolds, it is essential for the justice system to ensure a fair and thorough investigation. The victim deserves justice, and the perpetrators must be held accountable for their actions. At the same time, society as a whole must reflect on the underlying issues that contribute to these acts of violence and work towards creating a safer and more compassionate world for all.
