[12][7] Suspected Nikolas Cruz
Three people remained in critical condition the next day.[13] Of
perpetrator
those killed, twelve died in the school, two just outside the school
buildings, one on the street and two at the hospital.[7]

The suspected shooter was identified as Nikolas Cruz,[14][15] a 19-year-old

Nikolas Jacob Cruz
former student of the school. His former math teacher said an email from
the school administration had circulated among teachers, warning that Cruz
had made threats against other students, leading to his ban from wearing a
backpack on campus. He was later expelled for fighting with the boyfriend
of his former girlfriend.[16][14][17]

Cruz was a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC),
which awarded him multiple times for outstanding academic
performance.[10] A former classmate said he had a lot of anger management
issues and often joked about guns and gun-related violence, including
"shooting up establishments".[18] Another described him as "super stressed-
out all the time and talked about guns a lot and tried to hide his face".[19] A Broward County Sheriff's Office
current student said, "I think everyone had in their minds if anybody was mugshot
going to do it, it was going to be him."[19] Another classmate described him Born September 24, 1998
as a loner without many friends, saying, "He told me how he got kicked out
of two private schools. He was held back twice. He had aspirations to join the military. He enjoyed hunting."[10]

Sheriff Scott Israel of Broward County described the suspect's online profiles and accounts as "very, very disturbing."
The profiles contained numerous pictures and posts of the suspect with a variety of weapons, including long knives, a
shotgun, a pistol, and a BB gun. The suspect's YouTube videos included violent threats, such as "I wanna die fighting,
killing a s**t ton of people."[10][20] The suspect left a comment on another user's YouTube video in September 2017
stating "I'm going to be a professional school shooter" which prompted the user to report Cruz to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.[21]

Nikolas was adopted at birth by Lynda Cruz and her husband, the latter of whom died during his childhood of a heart
attack. His adopted mother died on November 1, 2017 from influenza and pneumonia. He had been living with relatives
and friends since her death. He had also previously been receiving mental health treatment, however he stopped going
and never returned.[10][22]

Cruz has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.[23]

First responders established a triage tent outside the school.[12] The school district provided grief counseling to
students and their families. Additionally, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said costs of funerals and counseling
would be covered by the state.[24]
