The 19-year-old accused of killing 17 people at a Florida high school Wednesday was reportedly a member of the school’s marksmanship team, which received grants from the National Rifle Association (NRA).

The Associated Press reports Nikolas Cruz, the alleged gunman in the deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was a member of the marksmanship team, which was part of the school’s Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Cruz was reportedly wearing a shirt with the JROTC logo when he was arrested following the shooting.

Former JROTC cadet Aaron Diener told the AP that Cruz was a member of the team and that he gave him a ride to a shooting competition where they competed together in 2016.

It'd probably be wise to check a yearbook before spreading claims like this. Remember the claim that this Hispanic was a white-nationalist, and how many people bought it?!
