FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Sitting in an Uber on his way to carrying out his massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Parkland school shooter was busy on his phone looking up the music video for “Pumped Up Kicks,” a song about a gunman targeting unarmed victims, a Broward Sheriff’s detective testified Monday.
It was among scores of searches on his phone leading up to the 2018 mass shooting, including a video called “Good songs to play while killing people,” and “How long does it take for a cop to show up at a school shooting?” in a Google search two days before massacre.
On top of his web searches, the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, was texting back and forth with two people, including a girl he liked who was rejecting his advances.
