Good morning. It's Tuesday, Dec. 19. We begin at Lake Minneola High School, where about 200 students and parents attended a suicide prevention community meeting after three Lake County teenagers took their own lives since October.

Elsewhere, a report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice mostly commended the Orlando Police Department for its response to the Pulse tragedy in June 2016 but recommended more training.
