Deputies called to suspected shooter’s home 39 times over seven years
[NYPOST] Before Nikolas Cruz carried out his mass killing at a Florida high school this week, police responded to his home 39 times over a seven-year period, according to disturbing new documents.

Details about the calls to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office ‐ obtained from police records by CNN ‐ were not immediately available and it was impossible to determine if all involved Cruz.

But the nature of the emergencies at his Parkland home included "mentally ill person," "child/elderly abuse," "domestic disturbance" and "missing person," KTLA reported.

And a schoolmate, Brody Speno, told the network that cops were called to Cruz’s home "almost every other week."

Ex-top NY cop slams FBI for missing tip-off on Florida shooter, ‘chasing Russian collusion’ instead

[RT] Controversial former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has accused the FBI of “wasting resources chasing Russian collusion,” instead of pursuing tips about potential criminals, such as the Florida school shooter.

Kerik, who served as police commissioner during the 9/11 attacks, referred to an article on Thursday that said a YouTube user named 'Nikolas Cruz' had announced last September: “I'm going to be a professional school shooter.”

Alleged school shooter reportedly wants to plead guilty to avoid execution

[NYPost] The Florida school shooting suspect says he’ll plead guilty — so long as prosecutors promise not to seek the death penalty, according to a report.

Lawyers for Nikolas Cruz — who faces 17 counts of premeditated murder for shooting up his former high school Wednesday — told a local ABC affiliate about their proposed bargain Friday.

The state hasn’t said whether it will accept the deal, Local News 10 reports.

Cruz has confessed to police that he deliberately gunned down the students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, authorities say.

But he also claims “demon” voices told him to do it, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
Update from the New York Post at 12:40 p.m. ET:
The younger Cruz brother was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility under Florida’s Baker Act, under which he can be held involuntarily for up to 12 hours for an involuntary psychiatric exam. It’s unclear if he’s been released.

Nikolas Cruz left Deschamps’ Lantana, FL mobile home around Thanksgiving after he and Deschamps squared off over a gun.

“He bought a gun and wanted to bring it into my house,” she said in comments that have since been wiped from her Facebook page, the paper reported.

Chad Bennett, a family friend, said Deschamps gave Cruz an ultimatum and Cruz “chose the gun and he left.” He moved in with family in northern Broward county, a Cruz family lawyer told the newspaper.
The brother was previously described as quiet and staying in the house while Nikolas was peeping in neighbours’ windows and trying to kill their pets, which suggests the younger boy might be suicidal.
