The teenager accused of killing 17 people at a Florida high school on Wednesday has confessed to the shooting.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, said he arrived on campus and began shooting students before abandoning his weapon and escaping, according to a court document.
He has appeared in court charged with 17- count charge of premeditated murder, the BBC reports.
The FBI has admitted it received a tip-off about him last year.
The attack, at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, is the deadliest United States school shooting since 2012.
“Cruz stated that he was the gunman who entered the school campus armed with a AR-15 and began shooting students that he saw in the hallways and on the school grounds,” according to the court document.
The suspect said he was carrying extra ammunition in a black duffel bag and backpack, it said.
