Florida suspect said to threaten woman

-

SUNRISE, Fla. — Florida high school massacre suspect Nikolas Cruz is accused of telling a woman months before the shooting that he might attack the school and that he might even kill her — but she never called police.

Giovanna Cantone’s statement was one of many made public Wednesday as part of the prosecutio­n of 19-year-old Cruz in the Valentine’s Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 people. Also released were more accounts of students who witnessed the attacks and statements from people who knew Cruz.

Cruz is charged with 17 counts of first-degree murder. His attorneys have said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Prosecutor­s are seeking the death penalty.
