Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference Thursday that Nikolas Cruz tried to mix in with a group of students fleeing the school. The sheriff says he then headed to a Wal-Mart and bought a drink at a Subway restaurant before walking to a McDonald’s.
Israel says Cruz was confronted by a police officer and taken into custody about 40 minutes after leaving the McDonald’s.
