Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (970 WFLA)- While many are shocked by the Broward County School shooting, some former classmates of the suspect are not.
A current student at Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School says former student Nikolas Cruz was always talking about guns, knives and hunting, and he seemed like the kind of kid who would do something like this.
A relative of Cruz describes him as being a problem child. Barbara Kumbatovich was the sister of the woman who adopted Nikolas Cruz and his brother when Nikolas was born. The boys had been staying with family friends after their adoptive mother passed away in November. Kumbatovich tells the "South Florida Sun Sentinel" she believes Nikolas was taking medication for emotional issues, and he had received counseling when he was younger.
Cruz is charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.
