Jereb said that ROF had not ordered or wanted Cruz to do anything like the school shooting, the ADL said.
Later on social media, Jereb said there been a misunderstanding.
"There was a legit misunderstanding because we have MULTIPLE people named Nicholas in ROF," he said in a profanity-laced post on Twitter and on a website called Gab.
Cruz was known among Douglas students as “a weird kid. No one really talked to him,’’ said Dylan O’Neill, 15, a sophomore.
Cruz was dropped off at the school just after 2 p.m. by an Uber driver, according to sheriff’s report.
A witness who recognized Cruz as “a former troubled student” saw him get out of a small “goldish colored” vehicle wearing black pants, a black hat and a maroon shirt – later identified as having school logos on it.

BROWARD COUNTY, FLA. —

Accused school killer Nikolas Cruz is a “remorseful” and “broken child” whose life came apart after the devastating loss of his mother in November, his attorneys say.

Cruz, 19, remains on suicide watch at the Broward County jail after being ordered held without bond Thursday on 17 counts of premeditated murder after the shooting Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
Wearing orange jail scrubs and shackled at the waist and ankles, he looked down and said two words – “Yes, ma’am” — when Circuit Judge Kim Mollica asked him if he understood the charges.
Cruz had a fascination with guns, was avoided by students at the high school before he was expelled and once trained with a white supremacist group. He also might have sent a Youtube comment in September saying: “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.’’

But his attorneys, in an emotional news conference, tried to paint a sympathetic portrait of a sad teenager who has expressed remorse for the shootings, which culminated a life that spiraled out of control in recent months.
“He is a deeply troubled child who has endured significant loss. He fell between the cracks,’’ said Gordon Weekes, executive assistant public defender.
“He is also saddened by the loss of those family members, by the loss of those children. He has expressed that.”
Cruz and his biological brother Zachary were adopted at birth by an older couple. His father died 13 years ago and his mother Lynda died from pneumonia on Nov. 1 after Cruz had tried to persuade her to seek medical help.
“He encouraged her to go to the hospital to seek treatment. That didn’t work out. That is a significant bit of trauma this young man endured in a very short period of time,” Weekes said.
Assistant public defender Melisa McNeill said Cruz has suffered from mental illness throughout his life and that it’s possible he is autistic.
“He is a broken human being. He is a broken child,’’ she said.

Right after his mother died, Cruz lived for a few weeks with a family friend at the Lantana Cascades Mobile Home Park west of Lantana. About Thanksgiving, he was taken in by the Snead family in Pompano Beach, where he had his own room.

“The family took him in. They knew his mom had died. They got him a job at Dollar Tree. And they helped him continue his education. They’re totally shocked,’’ said attorney Jim Lewis, who represents the Sneads.
The Sneads have a 17-year-old son who is a junior at the high school and was there during the shooting, Lewis said.
“They didn’t have any clues,” Lewis said. “They didn’t see anything in this kid, that he was a danger or that he harbored any ill feelings toward the high school.”
In September, the FBI was warned about an eerie comment on a Youtube channel from a user named Nikolas Cruz: “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.’’
Robert Lasky, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Miami office, confirmed Thursday that the agency had looked into the “professional shooter” comment but could not uncover any details from the account.
“No other information was included in the comment, which would indicate a time, location, or true identity of the person who made the comment,” Lasky told reporters. “The FBI conducted database reviews, checks, but was unable to further identify the person who made the comment.”

On Wednesday, hours after the shooting, Buzzfeed reported that a video blogger from Mississippi saw the comment from a user named Nikolas Cruz and informed the FBI.
The Nikolas Cruz YouTube account remained active until Wednesday evening. It has since been deleted.
Ben Bennight, the blogger who reported the Cruz comment, said he alerted the FBI in September and told agents from the Mississippi field office that he didn’t know anything about the user.
That was the last contact he had with the FBI until Wednesday, he told CNN.
“I saw the story kind of go across my newsfeed, but I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to it,” he recalled Thursday. “But when the FBI said it was the same name, the first thing that went through my mind was, ‘Wow, I hope you were at least watching this guy that I alerted you to months ago.’”
Also Thursday, the Anti Defamation League announced that it had been told by Republic for Florida, a white supremacist group, that Cruz had trained with the group.

ROF member Jordan Jereb, who is based in Tallahassee, told the ADL that Cruz had been “brought up” by a member. “Jereb added that Cruz had participated in one or more ROF training exercises in the Tallahassee area, carpooling with other ROF members from South Florida,’’ according to an ADL blog post.
Jereb said that ROF had not ordered or wanted Cruz to do anything like the school shooting, the ADL said.
Later on social media, Jereb said there been a misunderstanding.
"There was a legit misunderstanding because we have MULTIPLE people named Nicholas in ROF," he said in a profanity-laced post on Twitter and on a website called Gab.
Cruz was known among Douglas students as “a weird kid. No one really talked to him,’’ said Dylan O’Neill, 15, a sophomore.
Cruz was dropped off at the school just after 2 p.m. by an Uber driver, according to sheriff’s report.
A witness who recognized Cruz as “a former troubled student” saw him get out of a small “goldish colored” vehicle wearing black pants, a black hat and a maroon shirt – later identified as having school logos on it.

The Worst School Shootings in US History

He also carried a duffel bag and wore a black backpack.
The witness radioed a co-worker that “Cruz was walking purposefully” toward a building at the school. Less than a minute later, about 2:23 p.m., gunshots rang out.
Cruz pulled the fire alarm to lure students out of the building, according to Sen. Bill Nelson.

Cruz legally bought the AR-15 used in the mass shooting, according to the sheriff’s report. The report indicates he also confessed to the shooting.
“In a post Miranda statement, Cruz stated that he was the gunman who entered the school campus armed with a AR-15 and began shooting students that he saw in the hallways and on the school grounds.’’
On Thursday, Cruz appeared on closed circuit video in a courtroom that was cleared of all other inmates. Cruz, who is slight and skinny, looked down the entire time he was before the judge.
“You are charged with some very serious crimes,” Mollica told him.
After the hearing, Weekes said Cruz is remorseful but also mentally disturbed.
“He is deeply sad. He is dealing with the shock of all of this from this point on. He recognizes the loss that this community faces and more important the loss of those family members,’’ Weekes said.
Weekes was overcome by emotion several times as he tried to speak in Cruz’s defense.

NIKOLAS CRUZ’ BROTHER SENTENCED TO TIME SERVED, PROBATION IN SCHOOL TRESPASSING ARREST

During a separate incident in September, Zachary told the Herald about a fight between his brother and their mother, Lynda
"Nik got his AR-15 and put it to my mom's head," Zachary said. "He was yelling at her because she wouldn't take him to a cabin." It wasn’t clear if the weapon was loaded. He said their mother ran to her car and drove away.NIKOLAS CRUZ’ BROTHER SENTENCED TO TIME SERVED, PROBATION IN SCHOOL TRESPASSING ARREST
"He was in the middle of the driveway, in the middle of the street with his AR-15," Zachary told the Herald. "I had 911 ready to go on my phone. I was scared. I think he just came up and he put his gun away and I hung up."
Zachary told the Herald that his older brother was depressed and cut himself, recalling one time where he claimed he saw Nikolas in the bathroom with his wrists bleeding.
"He was listening to music really loud," Zachary said. "He said something about demons. I hate saying it but I shrugged it off."
Zachary told the outlet about his brother’s love of guns, as well as how he liked to kill birds, lizards and squirrels, the latter of which he said Nikolas would “preserve its tail.”
"He was mentally ill, and in hindsight, his actions were a cry for help," Zachary said of his brother.

Nikolas was also often secluded from other students due to his autism, Zachary told the Herald. He said his brother “just stood out” because of his appearance and tendencies.
“My heart still feels heavy because of all of it,” Zachary said. “I should have stepped up. He had nobody.”
“A lot of people failed him,” he later said. “Including me.”
The Herald said they interviewed Zachary shortly before he moved to Virginia, where he'd been offered a job with a nonprofit organization. The move came after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor trespassing at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the deadly massacre, for riding his skateboard on campus about a month after the shooting.

On February 14, 2018, a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing seventeen students and staff members and injuring seventeen others.^[2]^[3]^[4] Witnesses identified nineteen-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz as the assailant, and he was arrested in Coral Springs by the Broward County Sheriff's Office shortly after he escaped the scene; Cruz had purchased food at Walmart and McDonald's restaurants after leaving the scene of the shooting.^[5] Cruz confessed to being the perpetrator,^[6] and he was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder. Police and prosecutors have not yet offered a motive and are investigating "a pattern of disciplinary issues and unnerving behavior".^[7]
It is the deadliest shooting at a high school in United States history, surpassing the Columbine High School massacre which took place on April 20, 1999. The shooting was the deadliest mass shooting of 2018 and came at a period of heightened public support for gun control following the attacks in Las Vegas, Nevada and Sutherland Springs, Texas respectively in October and November 2017.
The sheriff's office received a number of tips in 2016 and 2017 about Cruz's threats to carry out a school shooting. The FBI learned that a YouTube user with the username "nikolas cruz" posted a message in September 2017 about becoming a school shooter, but the agency could not identify the user. In January 2018, someone contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) tip line with a direct complaint that Cruz had made a death threat, but the complaint was not forwarded to the local FBI office.
Following the massacre, public anger and frustration towards the inaction of the Republican-dominated legislature on the wider issue of mass shootings and gun violence led to the founding of Never Again MSD, an organization formed by survivors and students of the shooting to demand legislative action on gun violence. On March 9, Governor Rick Scott signed a bill that raised the minimum age for buying rifles in Florida from 18 to 21. The legislation also established waiting periods and background checks for gun buyers. The law also allowed for the arming of teachers who were properly trained and the hiring of school police. So-called "bump stocks" would now be banned and some potentially violent or mentally unstable persons would be prohibited from possessing guns.^[8]^[9] The National Rifle Association (NRA) immediately filed a lawsuit that challenged the federal constitutionality of the age requirement clause.^[10]

Three assistant principals and a security chief have been axed over failures to prevent the Parkland mass shooting which saw 17 people massacred.

The staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida are being reassigned over failings in the way the shooting was handled.

The Stoneman Douglas Commission cited a number of failures in school security procedure as well as missed opportunities to stop the killer, Nikolas Cruz, after he was seen searching guns on a school computer.

Toilet doors being glued shut and a lack of 'hard corners' meant students had fewer options to to safely hide as the gunman shot pupils and staff.

President Trump also intervened shortly after, calling sheriff's deputy, Scot Peterson, who was assigned as campus security, a coward for not going inside the building as the shooter roamed the school halls.

A number of failures by the school or district were raised by the commission, including communication breakdowns between police and school staff during the massacre on February 14.

These also included the school's 'Code Red' or active shooter procedures as well as bathroom doors being locked due to drug problems, which prevented students from being able to find a hiding place.

The school also had not enacted 'hard corners', or classroom corners where students could take cover during a shooting.

Assistant Principals Jeff Morford, Winfred Porter Jr, and Denise Reed, plus security specialist Kelvin Greenleaf have all been reassigned to other administrative positions in the county public school system, the district said in a statement.

The district would not say whether the moves were permanent or where they have been moved to.

Former Captain with the Broward County Sheriff's Department, Jan Jordan, and Parkland District Sargent, Brian Miller, were placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of an internal review of his response to the shooting at the school, the department said.

The commission hearings also heard that a student reported Cruz's weird behavior, such as researching guns on a school computer and saying how he liked to 'see people in pain', to Morford.

According to the student, Morford told him he should Google the word 'autism' and promised that Cruz was being withdrawn from the school, but the assistant principal denied this conversation took place.

Porter, who was named the district's assistant principal of the year a few days before the shooting, oversaw some of the school's security measures and brought a consultant in to review security at the school but these were not put into action before the shooting.

Reed is the assistant principal who oversaw special needs students, which was also criticized by an independent report for Cruz's lack of counseling services in the 14 months leading up to the killings.

Lisa Maxwell, who represents the three administrators through the Broward Principals and Assistants Association, told the Sun Sentinel that the school district is violating its employee discipline policy by not telling them why they are being investigated and that the assistant principals did nothing wrong.

Members of the panel investigating the high school massacre called the sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson, who was assigned to guard the campus 'a coward' for hiding and not rushing inside in an attempt to stop the shooter.

President Trump called Peterson a coward soon after the massacre, saying, 'he trained his whole life. But he certainly did a poor job. There’s no question about that'

President Trump also intervened, calling Peterson a coward for not intervening, when he said, 'he trained his whole life. But he certainly did a poor job. There’s no question about that'.

Security video shows Peterson arrived outside the three-story building where the killings happened shortly after the shooting began, about the same time the gunman finished slaying 11 people on the first-floor.

Peterson drew his handgun, but retreated to cover next to the neighboring building.

The video shows Peterson never left that spot for 50 minutes, even after other deputies and police officers arrived on campus and went inside.

Panel members have said they believe Peterson's inaction allowed Cruz to climb to the third floor, where five students, including Jamie Guttenberg, and one teacher were killed.

Shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz faces the death penalty if convicted. Cruz’s lawyers say he would plead guilty to murder and attempted murder charges in exchange for a life prison sentence, but prosecutors have rejected that deal

They believe if Peterson, 55, had confronted Cruz, who authorities say was armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, and engaged him in a shootout he could have killed him or given others more time to reach safety.

Peterson resigned soon after video emerged of him waiting outside the building during the shooting.

Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jamie was killed in the massacre after Cruz was allowed to climb to the third floor, called the move 'seven months overdue'.

He told the Sun Sentinel: 'We have been communicating all of this for almost nine months, as soon as we learned everything.

'It was only after they couldn't ignore the video that they took action. None of it brings our children back. None of it.

Today Cruz is facing a series of court hearings over procedural motions, which could see him face the death penalty if convicted.

Cruz’s lawyers previously said he would plead guilty to murder and attempted murder charges in exchange for a life prison sentence, but prosecutors have rejected that deal.

No trial date has been set for Cruz, who is also charged with assaulting a corrections officer in the jail where he is being held without bail.
