Control, killing 13 people on the ground. And, flu test failure . Why some doctors and Medical Centers are no longer relying on the rapid flu test. What you need to know. And good evening. Thanks for joining us on this saturday. Im tom llamas. And we begin with the Death Penalty showdown in south florida. Lawyers for the suspect in the mass shooting at the high school in parkland trying to save his life. Offering to exchange a guilty plea for life in prison. The prosecutors saying that this is a Death Penalty case. Tonight, the long list of behavioral disorders revealed in his Child Welfare report. That report just one more red flag warning that was missed, adding to the pain of the families of the victims. Adrienne bankert start us off. Reporter tonight, no deal. Attorneys for nikolas cruz offered to have their client plead guilty to avoid the Death Penalty and spare the community a painful legal battle, but theres pushback from the prosecution, saying its too early and this is the type of case the Death Penalty was designed for. The public defender fighting for cruzs life tells abc this put this man in prison for the rest of his life, whether you kill him, or you give him life, it wont make one more student safe. Reporter that debate plays out as new details emerge about the young man who Authorities Say confessed to killing 17 people at this florida high school. This is a yearbook photo of cruz in middle school. Classmates who knew him then say he was troubled. I feel like he was just alone and off, there was just something off about him. Reporter and now, a disturbing newly revealed report from the department of children and Family Services that says cruz cut himself in september of 2016, sharing video of his wounds on snapchat, and saying he wanted to get a gun. This kid, in his own way, was screaming out in every way that the mind knows how to scream out. Reporter the dcf report, first obtained by the sun sentinel, and confirmed to abc news by the public defender, also shows that cruz had a history of autism, adhd, depression, and was on medication, which cruzs public defender tells us he stopped taking. His attorney also detailed cruzs alleged cruelty to animals, all red flags of impending violence. Every sign that youre asked to look at was there. Reporter this report, the latest in a string of what appeared to be missed warning signs. The fbi admits they dropped the ball when a tip came in january 5th about the alleged shooters desire to kill, the agency not following up, and now theyre apologizing. And in september, a youtube blogger alerted the fbi to a user with the name nikolas cruz, who posted on the channel, im going to be a professional school shooter. The fbi investigated, but turned up nothing. And over the past few years, the sheriff says they responded to 20 calls regarding cruz. All of this concerning for the victims and their families, like debbie hixon, who lost her husband christopher in the shooting. The system is broken and it needs to be fixed. Adrienne bankert joining us now. You just said officers visited cruz 20 times and state agencies were aware of serious mental issues. And none of that was flagged by the background check when he bought the ar15. Thats right, tom. Theyre only run if they were deemed mentally ill by the courts or admitted to a mental institution. None of those conditions applied to cruz. Tom. Thank you. There in parkland and across the country, more tributes to the lives lost in the attack.

Tom, so many students i have spoken with have said the same thing. Theyre not sure how theyre going to be able to go back to school.

A programming note on this week, tomorrow Martha Raddatz anchoring from there in parkland, florida. The latest on the mass shooting and as well as the russia investigation. We move on to that russia investigation after 13 russian nationals and three Russian Companies were acussed of massive Information Warfare. The president tweeting the indictment vindicates him. That conclusion premature now. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is still hard at work. Abcs kenneth moton. Reporter tonight, the president claiming vindication in the bombshell indictment of 13 russians accused of meddling in the 2016 election. Tweeting, russia started their antiu. S. Campaign in 2014, long before i announced that i would run for president. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump Campaign did nothing wrong no collusion a white house spokesman going a step further. There are two groups that have created chaos more than the russians, and thats the democrats and the mainstream media. Reporter still, investigators are charging the russians spread fake news on fake social media accounts, started online political groups, and allegedly lured unsuspecting americans to campaignstyle rallies like this one in florida three months before the election. The defendants allegedly conducted what they called Information Warfare against the united states. Reporter and now, a superpower war of words. As you can see, with the fbi indictment, the evidence is now really incontrovertible. Reporter President Trumps National Security adviser at a security conference in germany, the russians in the same room, fighting back. Their foreign minister saying, until we see the facts Everything Else is just blabber. While this latest indictment does not mention collusion between the russians and the Trump Campaign, its just one piece of the broader mueller investigation. The probe is also looking into the 2016 trump tower meeting between donald trump jr. , jared kushner, paul manafort, and a russian lawyer, and theres a possible obstruction of justice investigation. Just because this indictment has no mention of collusion, or of knowing participation by americans, doesnt mean it isnt going to happen in the next indictment. All right, lets get out to kenneth moton, joining us from West Palm Beach with the president tonight. Sending out more tweets pointing to how long the accusations russia meddling go back. The president focused on when the alleged meddling started in 2014, long before he announced his candidacy. The indictment states that while they began their Information Warfare by 2014, by 2016 the candidates were set and the goal was to disparage Hillary Clinton and support donald trump. Tom.
