“COMPLETELY SATISFIED”:

Palm Beach County sheriff says deputies appropriately handled a disturbance involving Nikolas Cruz months before Parkland attack.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says he’s “completely satisfied” that his deputies appropriately handled a disturbance involving Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz just months before he killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

“We did look at the fact we had some contact with Mr. Cruz on some prior incidents — none of which had any indications of the fact that he was going to be engaged in what he did,” Bradshaw said during a news conference Friday. “They were merely what we call ordinary domestic disturbances.”

Bradshaw said he is commissioning an outside review of the office’s policies by the Police Executive Research Forum, an organization of police executives. The review, which is being done for free by the firm, aims to improve information sharing with other agencies and strengthen policies to prevent mass shootings, Bradshaw said.

Cruz, 19, lived at Lantana Cascade, a mobile home community in Palm Beach County, for about a month in November. He lived with Rocxanne Deschamps, who had agreed to care for Cruz after his mother’s death, before moving in with another family in Parkland.

On Feb. 14, Cruz took an Uber to Stoneman Douglas High School and opened fire.

Just 21⁄2 months before, Cruz became enraged after misplacing a photograph of his mother, according to a Nov. 28 report released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office.

Deschamps told a 911 dispatcher that the teenager was dangerous and possibly had buried a gun in the backyard.

Deschamps said Cruz punched her 22-year-old son, Rock, when he tried to calm him down. She told 911 she was worried Cruz was going to pick up a gun at Dick’s Sporting Goods and return to harm the family.

“He put the gun on the head of his brother before, so not the first time, and he did that to his mom. … It’s not the first time he’s put a gun on somebody’s head,” she said.

The family did not want Cruz to be charged, and he was not arrested, records show. He reconciled with Deschamps’ son, Bradshaw said.

“They actually hugged each other and told everybody they were sorry at the end,” Bradshaw said. “We handle these type of family interactions and disturbances all the time. There wasn’t any indication of any other type of behavior that was involved in that. I am completely satisfied the deputies handled it appropriately.”

The Broward Sheriff ’s Office and the FBI have faced scrutiny for not following up on tips that Cruz might be dangerous.

The FBI received at least two tips that Cruz intended to do violence, including one Jan. 5 from a caller who knew Cruz and said she was worried about him “getting into a school and just shooting the place up.”

Another caller who lived in Massachusetts warned the Broward Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 30 that Cruz could be a “school shooter in the making.”

BSO advised the caller to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office never received a call of that nature, agency spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.

Gov. Rick Scott has ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the law enforcement response before and during the shooting.

The Broward Sheriff ’s Office also has drawn criticism for not engaging the shooter quickly enough.

Bradshaw said it’ll take about 90 days to complete the review of the agency’s polices, which he thinks will help prevent future tragedies.

“I don’t want to have to go there with SWAT teams and vans and everything,” he said. “I want to stop it ahead of time.”
