Oleynik’s manager Abe Kawa confirmed with MMA Fighting that Polina was unharmed.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told reporters that 19-year-old Nicolas de Jesus Cruz has been arrested as a suspect in the shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale-area school that is home to around 3,200 students. An AR-15 style assault rifle was recovered at the scene, Israel said.
Oleynik, 40, is scheduled to fight Junior Albini at UFC 224 on May 12 in Rio de Janeiro.
