webfact Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Brother of suspected Florida shooter arrested at high school Zachary Cruz, brother of suspected Florida high school shooter Nikolas Cruz, is shown in this booking photo, after being arrested at the school where 17 people were shot dead last month, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, in Parkland, Florida, U.S., March 19, 2018. Broward County Sheriff's Office/Handout via REUTERS (Reuters) - The brother of suspected Florida high school shooter Nikolas Cruz was arrested on Monday afternoon for trespassing at the school where 17 people were shot dead last month, according to the Broward County Sheriff’ Office. Zachary Cruz, 18, told deputies he went to the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to “reflect on the school shooting and soak it in,” according to the arrest report. He was being held at the same Broward County jail in downtown Fort Lauderdale where his brother is being held, jail records on Monday night showed. Zachary Cruz was being held on a $25 bond, while his brother, Nikolas Cruz is charged with 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder, and has no bond, county records showed. Nikolas Cruz, 19, is charged with carrying out the massacre at the high school in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14. Zachary Cruz was warned by school officials not to enter the school but "surpassed all locked doors and gates and proceeded to ride his skateboard through school grounds" and was arrested at 4:50 pm (2050 GMT), the report said. The report said Zachary Cruz had no connections to Broward County at this time. The sheriff's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Zachary Cruz had legal representation.

lannarebirth Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I think this kid is carrying a lot of guilt. Apparently he and his friends were pretty merciless in their teasing of his brother, the school shooter.

Apparently he could have asked for some of that expanded counseling that is being handed out and arranged a supervised visit to the school. Overridden by guilt or entitled by the feeling he's above the law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marginline Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 My question to the cowardly police department named and shamed below: 3 hours ago, webfact said: Broward County Sheriff's Office, in Parkland, Florida, U.S. ...is, what is the purpose of closing the stable door now that the horse has bolted, please?

Many young people use skateboard as means of transportation just like a bike or car. Do you walk to a funeral to show respect? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Obviously, the school's security post-shooting is really up to snuff... Quote Zachary Cruz was warned by school officials not to enter the school but "surpassed all locked doors and gates and proceeded to ride his skateboard through school grounds" and was arrested at 4:50 pm (2050 GMT), the report said.

"soak it in" by skateboarding through school grounds. I think he is a nitwit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
