Several reports on this shooter identify the fact that both he and his brother were adopted.
Adopted at birth by a loving older couple, Nikolas Cruz seemed to struggle in recent years.”...” Lynda and her husband, Roger, who died many years ago, adopted Nikolas and his biological brother, Zachary, after the couple moved from Long Island to Broward County.”...”Lynda, who died of pneumonia, adopted Nikolas the day he was born.” Family member Barbara Kumbatovich, of Long Island, N.Y., said she heard media reports about the mass shooting in Florida but had no idea the suspect was the son of her recently deceased sister-in-law, Lynda.

"Bolstering the narrative that many glaring and alarming warning signs about Cruz's emotional state were repeatedly missed, the sheriff's reports shed light on consistent problems with two erratic, violent, and turbulent boys who repeatedly "threw items," were "out of control," "ran away from home," and fought and argued loudly with their mother and each other.Nikolas and Zachary both have mental health issues, including ADHD and OCD, and take medication, officers wrote. Nikolas Cruz had sought treatment at Henderson Mental Health Clinic and had attended a school for students with behavioral problems.
On Aug. 22, 2012, Lynda Cruz called 911 because her sons, 12 and 13 at the time, were "threatening her." In November of that year, officers came because Nikolas had beat up his brother. A few weeks later they returned after he attacked his mother with the plastic hose from the vacuum cleaner, one report says.
One evening in January 2013, officers responded to a call from Lynda Cruz, detailing that Nikolas's behavior was escalating after she took away his video games. The 14-year-old then threw a chair, dog bowl, and glass across the room, screaming that his mom was a "useless bitch," the sheriff's report said. After the teen barricaded himself in his room, deputies briefly handcuffed him and put him in the back of a squad car until a youth emergency services counselor arrived.
Nearly a year later, Nikolas Cruz punched a hole in the wall after his mother took away his Xbox.'

“Malcolm and Christine Roxburgh were neighbors of the Cruz family for many years. “It was a wonderful idea. Two older people to have two little boys to look after. They were just kind people.” Christine said Lynda asked her daughter, who lives up north, to take the kids when her husband died, but she refused.” .....“Christine said when the boy didn’t want to go to school, he would bang his head against a cement wall.”
With a history like that, why would any family take them in their house? Especially when one of the them was bringing a gun.
