Among the victims was 14-year-old Mason Schermerhorn, whose family frantically searched for him amidst the chaos before tragically confirming his death. A GoFundMe page has been set up by loved ones, raising over $38,000 to support the family during this difficult time.

Another victim, special education math teacher David Phenix, was also injured in the attack and is currently in stable condition after undergoing surgery for gunshot wounds. His daughter took to social media to update friends and family on his recovery.

The shooter, 14-year-old Colt Gray, quickly surrendered to authorities and is now in custody at the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center.
