Barbara Kumbatovich is the sister-in-law of Nikolas Cruz’s mother who died several months before her son's murderous assault on his former high school. According to the Sun Sentinel, Kumbatovich told the newspaper about Cruz, “I know he did have some issues and he may have been taking medication. [He] did have some kind of emotional problems or difficulties.”

This first suggestion about medication may lead to a total clamp down on further information, but Frequent Alerts will keep you posted on anything that seems relevant.
