"Anthony Borges, a Parkland shooting victim who was shot five times,
released a statement on Friday that criticized the Broward County
Sheriff’s Office for failing to protect students.
Borges, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, was recently
released from the hospital but remains in a wheelchair. He was shot five
times while barricading a classroom door to prevent Nikolas Cruz from
getting to his classmates.
The survivor appeared with his lawyer, Alex Arreaza, at a press conference on Friday evening. Arreaza read a statement
on Borges’ behalf that placed blame on Sheriff Scott Israel, the
Broward County School District, and the Broward deputies who did not
enter while Cruz was shooting up the school.
“I know I’ve been called Iron Man,” the statement said. “And while
I’m honored to be called this, I am not. I’m a 15-year-old who’s been
shot five times, while Broward Sheriff’s deputies waited outside and
decided that they weren’t going to come in the building.” (Daily Caller)
