ABC News
Nikolas Cruz wants to change to a guilty plea for the killing of 17 people in the Parkland, Florida, high school massacre.
Nikolas Cruz will plead guilty in the killing of 17 people in the Parkland, Florida, mass shooting, a defense attorney said in court Friday.
On Feb. 14, 2018, Cruz, then 19, allegedly gunned down 14 students and three staff members at his former school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He was taken into custody that day.
Cruz on Friday pleaded guilty to charges in connection to his attack on a jail guard in 2018. When the judge asked Cruz how he was feeling, he responded "feeling alright," and confirmed that he is thinking clearly.
Cruz's attorneys said he plans to plead guilty on Wednesday in connection to the Parkland massacre.
