A US community devastated by a school shooting one year ago has marked the tragic anniversary with quiet mourning.

Seventeen people were shot and killed by an ex-student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) in Parkland, Florida on 14 February 2018.

Students and educators across the country also marked the day with vigils, moments of silence, art projects and other demonstrations.

The school mass shooting spurred a renewed effort towards gun control.

How is the event being marked?
