Trump: 'Must Always Report' Signs of 'Erratic Behavior'

(Reuters)

By Joe Crowe | Thursday, 15 February 2018 07:58 AM EST

President Donald Trump tweeted Thursday about the Florida school shooting, calling shooter Nikolas Cruz "mentally disturbed" and urging Americans to "always report" any signs of "erratic behavior" that could indicate a person is a potential shooter.

So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 15, 2018

On Wednesday afternoon after the shootings, Trump sent a tweet saying that no child should ever feel unsafe in a school in America.

My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 14, 2018

Nikolas Cruz, 19, was charged Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder over the shootings Wednesday afternoon at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
