The mass shooting at a Florida high school on Wednesday claimed the lives of at least 17 people, spurring a number of desperate goodbye text messages in the frantic moments.

One of those exchanges was shared on Thursday by senior Sam Zeif, an 18-year-old student who sent texts to his little brother, 14-year-old Matthew, who was in a different class during the shooting.
