Months before a Valentine’s Day attack that left 17 dead at a Florida high school, suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz trespassed on campus grounds and mingled with students, according to newly released witness statements.

Computer science teacher Sandra Rennie told a detective that she saw Cruz wearing a hoodie and backpack on the first day of classes at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in August 2017, South Florida’s Sun Sentinel reported.
