According to law enforcement sources, the shooter, former student Nicolas de Jesus Cruz, is in custody. Helicopter footage shortly before 4 showed police frisking a handcuffed young man outside a squad car. Dressed in a maroon shirt and dark trousers, he was placed in the squad car as TV choppers filmed the scene. He gave no visible sign of being injured, but authorities have said Cruz was transported to Broward Health North.
A teacher at the school told the Miami Herald that Cruz, 19, had been identified as a potential threat to fellow students in the past.
We were told last year that he wasnt allowed on campus with a backpack on him, said math teacher Jim Gard, who said the former student suspected in the shootings had been in his class last year. There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus. (more)

Where did he live. Did he live at home with family? Why do we not know anything about him except his Instagram persona
So will the FBI comandeer the investigation and bury the details for a year or two, like Las Vegas?
The victims won’t hardly be cold before the liberal jackals will be howling for more gun control and banning the AR-15 as tbe gun was certainly the cause.
Figures. Why most Irish I know routinely name their sons Jesus. (/s)
Another white hispanic?
I’ll try to research, but there was one article about his mother having died recently, and I don’t remember reading anything about his father.
Florida has boatloads of them ...
Hispanic registered democrat not a Trump supporter

Where are the tweets from HRC, BC, CC, Hussein, others re: the shooting today?
Do you believe in EVIL?
Make no mistake, they will all PAY THE PRICE.
Q
He had a lot of problems in middle school, Coke said. You never think anyone you know is going to do something like this.
Watching the press conference. My word these reporters are stupid.
So he survived. Any predictions if he will get death penalty?
Insanity defense?
Those calling for gun control seem to oppose death penalty?
If you don’t want your treasure taken, then guard it.
Otherwise...
Thank you. I wonder if he was living with family? Its odd that no one knows anything about him
Adoptive mom died last year (some sort of shooting, if you believe the online obituary site). Adoptive father died years earlier.
So this “death-by-book-bag-carrying-teen” stuff was not so prevalent when we announced to our families 30 years ago that we would be HOMESCHOOLING our children, with God’s help. We recognized that we could only count on the government-run indoctrination centers (”public schools” in the words of MSM) to undermine our values and what we believed.
Of course all of our parents and most relatives thought we were bat$h!t krazy. So we had a lot of tough years and fights and stress over the years - and that was with our kids. But keeping them out of that whole publick skool environment has been worth it.
Nowadays there are a lot more options, and a good bit more support for homeschooling families (in most states).
Your kids are just a means to an end for the politicians and the teachers’ unions. Your kids deserve better.
No predictions from me on death penalty. Governors change and Florida is getting more undocumented Democrats all the time.
