Parkland high school shooter to plead guilty to killing 17: attorney

Miami, Oct 15 (AFP/APP):Nikolas Cruz, the former student accused of a 2018 shooting rampage at a high school in Parkland, Florida, will plead guilty to murdering 17 people, his lawyer told a court Friday.

“It is our intent to enter a change of plea as to both cases, to all charges,” attorney David Wheeler told a judge, indicating that Cruz would drop his initial innocent plea both for the murders and for physically attacking a jail officer after his arrest.
