(CBS/WBBM Newsradio) Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo attended the Florida high school that became the latest setting for a U.S. mass shooting.

Rizzo on Wednesday tweeted to his alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., as word spread about mass shooting there that left 17 dead and others wounded. A suspect reportedly was in police custody.

Parkland and Coral Springs please stay strong! This is out of control and and our country is in desperate need for change. I hope In this darkest of times back home this brings everyone together and we can find love. You're all in my prayers ????????????????
