PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — A Broward County Sheriff’s Office report says Nikolas Cruz confessed to being the shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

According to the report, he told interrogating officers that he “began shooting students that he saw in the hallways and on school grounds” on Wednesday afternoon.

The report adds that Cruz told officers he “brought additional loaded magazines to the school campus and kept them hidden in a backpack until he got on campus to begin his assault.”

Cruz told investigators that as students began to flee, he decided to discard his AR-15 rifle and a vest he was wearing so he could blend in with the crowd. Police recovered the rifle and the vest.

The police report adds that Cruz purchased the rifle in February 2017, but does not say where it was purchased.

    Comrade Cockholster should take time off the links to make the 45-minute drive to Parkland and meet with the parents of these dead children … so they can tear him limb from limb.

    Alternately, the parents could make the trip en masse to Grift-a-Lotto. I’m sure he’d be happy to see them.
    Imagine his surprise when he sees the Broward County Public School district bus at the gate. Good times.

    Sorry Tio. It will be out there on the links taking Mulligans all happy and grabbing presidential groupies. If there’s no money or old goat action he could care less.
