Nikolas Cruz legally purchased the AR-15 rifle used in the assault at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. Students who knew Nikolas Cruz, seen in a booking photo released Thursday, described a volatile teenager whose strange behaviour had caused others to end friendships with him. An attorney representing the family that Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz was living with says the family is shocked and didn't believe Cruz could be dangerous. Some bodies remained inside the high school Thursday as authorities analyze the crime scene, the sheriff said. It was the nation’s deadliest school shooting since a gunman attacked an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012.
