Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz issues lengthy statement after pleading guilty to mass killing at high school: ‘I love you … I’m sorry’
Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz issued a lengthy statement after he pleaded guilty to killing 17 people and injuring 17 more during a 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Cruz pleaded guilty Wednesday to 17 charges of first-degree murder as well as 17 charges of attempted murder.
“I am very sorry for what I did and I have to live with it every day. And if I were to get a second chance, I would do everything in my power to try to help others,” Cruz said. “I am doing this for you and I do not care if you do not believe me, and I love you, and I know you don’t believe me but I have to live with this every day and it brings me nightmares and I can’t live with myself sometimes, but I try to push through because I know that’s what you would want me to do.”
Cruz will now face a jury that will decide whether he should serve a life term in prison or seek the death penalty.
