Student: Florida shooter liked to show off pictures of guns on his phone.

https://wsvn.com/news/local/authorities-suspect-in-custody-after-at-least-20-hurt-in-shooting-at-marjory-stoneman-douglas-hs/

A student, who was not identified, said he knows the shooter. “He’s been a troubled kid,” said the student, “and he’s always had a certain amount of issues going on. He shot guns because he felt it gave him, I guess, an exhilarating feeling.”

The student went on to say the suspect had shown him pictures of guns on his phone.

“I stayed clear of him most of the time. My time in alternate school, I did not want to be with him at all because I didn’t want to cause any conflict with him, because of the impression he gave off,” said the student.

Sometimes you try to make connections where you can, and sometimes people are just terrible at it.
