Parkland school shooter, Nikolas Cruz covers his ears as prosecutors play audio of him saying he would be the next school shooter (Watch)

 

Nikolas Cruz, 20, who gunned down 17 people last year when he opened fire at a school in Florida, was unable to face what he had done and had to cover his ears as prosecutors played an audio where he said he would be the next school shooter.

Cruz, who was 19 at the time, opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland, Florida, on Valentine's Day in 2018.

The attack was well planned by Cruz and in an audio recording played in court, he is heard telling a friend that he would "be the next school shooter of 2018".

As the audio was played in court yesterday by Florida prosecutors arguing for access to mental health and medical records of Cruz, the school shooter covered his ears and bent his head.
