“He’s 19 years old, he was born in 1998, in September,” Israel said. “He was a former student of Douglas High School. He got expelled for disciplinary reasons, I don’t know the specifics. I think he might have surfaced at Taravella High School, we’re still trying to confirm that. And this morning when he woke up, whether he was a student or not, I don’t know.”

Suspect’s Social Media Show He Was “Fascinated By Guns”

According to Fox News’ Trace Gallagher, the suspects’ social media showed that he was “fascinated by guns.”

“If you look at things like his Instagram page, you can see he’s fascinated by guns. We don’t know the type of weapon, we don’t know the power of the weapon. But we know that this suspect, if in fact it is him, is fascinated by guns, is fascinated by gun groups,” he said.

Suspect Followed “Syrian Resistance Groups” On Social Media

Gallagher also reported that Cruz followed “Syrian resistance groups” on social media, without expanding on what that meant or what groups they were.

“He’s also following resistance groups, like Syrian Resistance groups and fighter groups out of Iraq,” Gallagher said Wednesday. (RELATED: REPORT: Florida Shooter ‘Fascinated By Guns’ — Followed ‘Syrian Resistance Groups’)

The social media presence of Cruz has been mentioned in media coverage repeatedly, but exact details of his social media history have not yet been released.

Sheriff Israel said, “We’ve already began to dissect his websites and the things, that social media that he was on, and some of things have come to mind are very very disturbing.”

Gallagher also said that “a couple days ago, as far as a week ago,” the suspect was “involved in a Youtube chat room conversation about bombs or building bombs.”
