Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old Parkland, Florida, high school shooter, obtained 10 rifles in the past year or so, a law enforcement source told CNN on Monday.

Kim Waltuch, CEO of Gun World of South Florida in Deerfield Beach, said Cruz bought two weapons from that store, and said the sales followed normal gun purchase protocol, the CNN report said.

Students and staff at the site of the shooting, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, said they were determined the deaths of 17 students and staff members would lead to positive change. A group of them is headed to Tallahassee, Florida, to speak to lawmakers about gun control and school safety, the report said.

Four students remain hospitalized from injuries suffered in the shooting, CNN reported.

James and Kimberly Snead, the couple who took in Cruz, said Monday the situation was a "roller coaster of emotions."

"We didn't know," James Snead told Monday's "Good Morning America."
