Jurors in the trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz heard tearful statements Wednesday from three families whose children were among the 17 he murdered at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018.

It was the third straight day of such testimony - but it didn't make it any easier to hear as once again jurors, spectators and even Cruz's lawyers wiped away tears.

Tony and Gina Montalto told the seven-man, five-woman jury and 10 alternates how their daughter Gina had saved a toddler from drowning when she was 10, and described the turtle figurine the child's grateful mother gave her. It still decorates her now unused room.“She once told me she wanted to live in a library,” her mother said. The children's wing at the Parkland library is now named for her.

They used to play together “filling our house with laughter,” he said. “Now there is deafening silence.” He said the family is haunted by the fact that they will never know whether Alex would have gone to his dream school, the University of Connecticut, or stayed closer to home.
