Two students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have been arrested today for bringing weapons to school. A third student is being evaluated for making online threats.
The first student, 18-year-old Jordan Salter, was arrested after pulling a two-inch black knife from her bra after a disagreement with another student took place, the Sun Sentinel reported.
The second student, Gavin Stricker, 17, allegedly brandished a knife on the school bus earlier in the day.
On top of everything else, a Broward County deputy was placed on administrative leave for allegedly sleeping on the job.

And BSO filed for a risk protection order against Zachary Cruz, to prohibit him from possessing or acquiring firearms. This is under the new "red flag" protections created by Florida's new gun law passed after the Parkland shooting.

Zachary Cruz was arrested Monday for trespassing on Stoneman Douglas High grounds. In a court appearance Tuesday, the judge set his bond at $500K — unusually high for this offense — in part because it was the third time Cruz was spotted on campus since the shooting.
