Authorities on Wednesday afternoon responded to reports of an active shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. The Broward Sheriff's Department confirmed "at least 14 victims" within an hour of the shooting, while local outlets reported that 20 to 50 people might be injured and the Margate Fire Department is preparing for a mass casualty situation.

Following the reports of a shooting, the White House also canceled a planned press briefing.

"The president has spoken with Gov. [Rick] Scott of Florida and offered federal assistance if needed," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "Department of Homeland Security Secretary [Kirstjen] Nielsen also spoke with Gov. Scott, as well as state and local officials. She has briefed the president on those conversations. The governor, the secretary and other administration officials will continue to keep the president updated."

The shooting is reportedly the 19th school shooting so far in 2018. Not all the reported incidents have resulted in fatalities.
