Parkland, EtatsUnis, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Feb, 2018 ) :Nikolas Cruz, the shooter who opened fire on a Florida school Wednesday killing 17 people, was a teenage gun lover previously expelled from the school for disciplinary reasons.
The gunman, 19, showed up at the end of the school day at his former school -- Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland -- with a semi-automatic AR-15 assault rifle and a large amount of ammunition.
Local police later arrested him in nearby Coral Springs. Gard told CNN that although he had not had problems with Cruz in class, female students reported Cruz having "problems with other girls." Meanwhile a student, who wasn't named, told local broadcaster WSVN-7 that Cruz was "a troubled kid" who had firearms at home and had talked about using them.
"He shot guns because he felt it gave him, I guess, an exhilarating feeling," the student said. According to another pupil, Nicholas Coke, Cruz was a "loner" who left the school and moved to northern Florida following the death of his mother.
He had also undertaken a junior military training program, according to Pentagon sources who did not offer details. The shooter had already had "a lot of problems," Coke said, recalling an incident during middle school when Cruz kicked out a window.
