 "I'm gonna go take Uber in the afternoon before 2:40 (pm)," he boasted. "From there I'll go into, onto school campus, walk up the stairs, unload my bags and get my AR and shoot people down at the man, what is it? The main courtyard, wait, and people will die." In the footage, the eventual mass killer held up an assault-style rifle, believed to be the weapon he used to carry out the sickening massacre. "My name is Nick, and I'm gonna be the next school shooter of 2018," he said in another video. Speaking directly into the camera, Cruz says "My goal is to kill at least 20 people with an AR-15 and a couple tracer rounds", referring to the assault-style rifle he is seen holding in the footage." "When you see me on the news, you'll know who I am," he laughed. Brandishing the rifle, he added: "You're all going to die. Pew, pew-pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Ah yeah, can't wait." Cruz, who was 19 at the time, murdered 14 students and three teachers, bef){kind=link}
Nikolas Cruz massacred 17 people in the deadliest high school shooting in US history and many of the victims’ families hoped he would face the death penalty – but the Parkland school shooter was spared
Nikolas Cruz is responsible for the deadliest high school shooting in US history – but he was spared the death penalty.
During a sickening six-minute attack, Cruz massacred 17 people, including 13 students, at the Stoneman Douglas High School in the Miami suburb of Parkland in 2018.
Today he was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
The ‘gun crazy outcast’, who had been expelled from the school for ‘disciplinary reasons’ the year before, was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, multiple magazines of ammunition, smoke grenades and a gas mask.
