Police: Brother of Parkland shooter arrested for trespassing at Stoneman Douglas
The brother of the suspect in the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting was arrested Monday for reportedly trespassing at the same high school.
Zachary Cruz, 18, was arrested after police say he went on the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, bypassing locked gates and doors, Local10.com reported.
Cruz told authorities that he went to the school to “reflect on the school shooting and soak it in.”

Security camera footage shows Cruz traveling onto the campus on his skateboard at about 4:30 p.m., according to deputies.
Cruz’s brother, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, is accused of opening fire at the school last month, leaving 17 people dead.
The elder Cruz was formally indicted on murder charges earlier this month and could face the death penalty.
The shooting has reignited the national debate on gun violence, and student survivors are organizing the “March For Our Lives,” scheduled for Saturday in Washington, D.C.
