Nikolas Cruz took an Uber to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where he allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 assault rifle and killed 17 people.
“My understanding and the information I have from law enforcement is that he arrived on the campus, possibly through an Uber driver that dropped him off. He arrived around the time of dismissal, entered the building, began to fire into the building,” Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie told CBS.
