Guard describes jailhouse assault by Parkland shooter at penalty trial
CBSN
A jail guard testified Wednesday that Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz attacked him with little warning nine months after Cruz murdered 17 students and staff at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four years ago and tried to wrest away his electric stun gun.
As jurors in Cruz's death penalty trial watched a surveillance video of the Nov. 13, 2018, brawl, Broward County sheriff's Sgt. Raymond Beltran gave a play-by-play description. He said it began after he told Cruz to walk properly as he supervised Cruz's recreation period.
Cruz was being jailed in isolation for the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre. The video shows Cruz in an orange jail uniform and a pair of shower slippers, walking laps around some tables as Beltran sat behind a desk a few feet away.
