Ellie Bush current event

Zachary Cruz, the brother of the 19 year old who is responsible for the Parkland shooting, told officials he skateboarded through Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because he wanted to reflect on the shooting, according to his arrest report. He allegedly got through the campus's locked doors and gates, even though he had been warned to not trespass. Cruz is described as feeling "somewhat responsible and guilty" about the shooting rampage because he and his friends had bullied Nikolas when they were younger, which he now regrets doing. 

I understand why Zachary wanted to come to the school, however, I would think the school would have a lot more security now since the incident in order to keep all the students safe, to prevent something like this happening again. It is also sad that he partially felt responsible, it is clear that Nikolas had strong intentions of harming people for a while, and most likely would not have been talked out of it.

  1. London Hibbs- interesting to hear from the perspective of a family member. I'm sure he regrets how he treated his brother so I can understand why he feels responsible.
