Broward County Sheriff’s Office received nearly twice as many calls about accused school shooter Nikolas Cruz or his brother between 2008 and 2017 than the law enforcement office has previously claimed, according to a CNN report.
According to CNN, the office received at least 45 calls relating to Cruz, 19, or his brother in that time period. The sheriff’s office has insisted it received no more than 23 calls.
CNN, earlier this month, reported that a Broward County Sheriff’s Office log showed that there were 39 calls from Cruz’s house over a six-year period. After further review of the logs, however, CNN says it has found that the sheriff’s office received 45 calls between 2008 and 2017. The records list calls from the home owned by Cruz’s mother during that time.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel has said that his office “has been involved in 23 type calls involving the killer in some way, shape or form — or his brother.”
