"Nikolas Cruz, the man accused of killing more than a dozen of his former classmates at a Florida high school, is facing new charges for attacking a jail guard, authorities said Wednesday.
Cruz, 20, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on an officer and one count of use of an "electric or chemical weapon against a law enforcement officer," according to jail records.
The fight happened Tuesday night at the jail in Fort Lauderdale when a sergeant asked him to stop dragging his sandals as he walked, according to a Broward County Sheriff's report. Cruz gave him the middle finger before the accused killer "rushed him and attacked him in the face," according to the report.
Cruz got on top of the sergeant and punched him several times, the report said.
The 5-foot-7, 120-pound Cruz then grabbed the guard's "conductive electronic weapon" during the fight, which lasted about 90 seconds, and it went off during the struggle.
The Taser did not injure either Cruz or the deputy, according to Broward County Sheriff's Sgt. Anthony Marciano, a union rep for the jail guards.
The sergeant guarding Cruz got the weapon back but the fight continued, according to the report. Cruz hit the sergeant "several more times" before the guard punched him back.
Cruz is facing 17 murder charges for the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14.
Cruz is separated from the rest of the jail population but is allowed several hours outside his cell in a common area by himself. But after this incident, Cruz will be locked in his cell for 23 hours a day, Sgt. Marciano said."
Well jeez.

I wonder if this will in some way affect the trial that will be happening tomorrow?

Unfortunately his anger issue has not improved... Has he ever got a psychological help in prison? I'm not sure keeping him locked in his cell for 23 hours a day will solve the issue.

I do feel sorry for him, attacking guards is probably a form of entertainment now.

While it's clear Cruz was drowning in mental issues BEFORE the attack, I'm sure as [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] mentioned the jailing process has taken its toll.
He was actually supposed to have a court hearing tomorrow.

Really? it would have been easier to just say Taser.

Fucking damn, I see killing over a dozen people hasn't sated his desire to commit violence at all.

You know everyone makes jokes about how Cruz would be raped or murdered in prison but this right here makes me think he'd be much more of a danger to the other inmates than the other way around. He's both shorter and lighter than me and he was able to wrestle a corrections officer to the ground, beat him up, and get ahold of his taser in less than two minutes. If he goes into the courtroom again he's going to be doing so in loads of restraints, that's for sure.

I think there is a possibility that he was trying to get the guard to kill him. Maybe I am overthinking it though. He does have anger issues, but previous jail documents described him as meek and cooperative.

Very true. He was able to overpower someone who we all know was trained for this type of thing and likely much bigger and much stronger. That is a scary thought to think about.

My comment should be treated very cautiously, this is not even something I think, this is just a small possibility. Maybe we don't know everything and he had previous issues with this guard in particular, maybe this guard was often mean to him or something and so Cruz lost his calm. Or maybe Cruz had had a lot of issues that day and so he cracked. We don't know if it was a desire to commit violence or revenge, if it was something that could happen again and that he wanted to do or if it was exceptional...
