Shocking surveillance shows Parkland shooter attack prison officer, turns into full-on brawl
July 15, 2021 | Kay Apfel
Surveillance video of Parkland, Florida school shooter, Nikolas Cruz was released this week that allegedly shows him violently lunging at an officer in Broward County Jail on November 13, 2018, about nine months after he committed the horrific Parkland shooting massacre that left 17 dead and 17 wounded.
The video was released Wednesday as part of his first in-person court appearance since the coronavirus pandemic began. In it, Cruz can be seen erratically pacing circles around empty cafeteria tables.
Eventually, Cruz stops pacing and approaches the guard, who was identified as Sgt. Raymond Beltran, according to CBS Miami, as he monitors Cruz from his station in the corner of the room. Cruz points at Beltran, then gives him the finger. While the clip has no audio, his body language indicates that whatever he said to Beltran, he was upset about.
The footage shows Cruz then lunging at the officer and wrestling him to the ground while trying to throw punches at Beltran’s head.
