The city of Parkland, Florida, where a young man was shot dead to 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School -

yesterday Wednesday, February 14 - had been named the safest city in the state by a trade association, People reported.

The National Council for Home Safety and Security ranked Parkland as one of the top safest cities on its list in 2017. People even explains that it was ranked third so far in 2018. These reports were removed from the digital page, but on Wednesday CNN had access to the information and shared it.

"This city, located in the Everglade Wildlife Management area on the east coast of Florida, is a thriving town that has been intentionally designed to mimic a park," the organization wrote in the 2017 report. While seven violent crimes were reported and 186 property crimes in the previous year, indicates People.

However, following the fatal shooting by suspect Nikolas Cruz, a former Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school student, the city becomes the site of the 18th reported school massacre in the United States so far this year. An interesting fact is that the organization described the city as a place with "tons of qualities and charms", which had had a tremendous boom in twenty-five years.
