According to witnesses, he pulled the fire alarm and opened fire as students headed for the exits, killing at least 17, including Aaron Feis, the football coach\/security guard (pictured above), who, according to students, shielded potential victims from bullets with his own body. He leaves behind a wife and daughter. <\/p>\n<p>The cowardly shooter then blended in with students as they exited the school and he was arrested a few blocks away.<\/p>\n<p>His lawyer, Jim Lewis, says that the gunman owned the gun, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2018\/02\/15\/suspected-gunman-nikolas-cruz-was-living-with-florida-high-school-student-in-months-leading-up-to-massacre-attorney-says.html\">Fox News<\/a>.
