The younger brother of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz was busted in Virginia after trying to break into three different schools, according to police.

Zachary Cruz, 24, was caught on security cameras at the schools “peering inside, indicating efforts to gain unauthorized access,” according to the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office.

He allegedly attempted to get into the Wilson Middle School, Wilson High School, and the Valley Career and Technical Center late on Jan. 25, and was arrested “without incident” last Tuesday.

The younger brother of the Florida school shooter — who massacred 17 people in 2018 — was charged with trespassing and released Thursday with a hearing set for May 1.

He’s too old to be at any school, unless he works there.

Seems legit to me, anyone and at any time from 1950 to today would have been arrested.

A 24 year old man on school grounds at almost midnight caught on camera trying to break into 3 different schools.

A better article.
“Zachary Cruz, 24, was observed on surveillance footage at multiple school properties, including Wilson Middle School, Wilson High School, and the Valley Career and Technical Center, in Georgia County.
The incident occurred on January 25 at around 11.30 p.m. Footage showed Cruz approaching exterior doors, attempting to open them, and peering inside, indicating efforts to gain access.”

It seems obvious, from a protect the public standpoint, that authorities should be concerned that this behavior is somehow a part of a desire or plan to copycat his brother’s school shooting, No?

My point was that the guy would have been arrested even back in 1950 or 1970 or 1990 America for what he was doing, it was a normal, routine arrest, regardless of who he was.

Finding out who he is should make the cops a little more interested though.

He looked in public windows and apparently did no damage. He must have been checking to see how his tax dollars were being spent.
