Nikolas Cruz knew everyone would know his name after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. 
 
 In three chilling cellphone video clips, at least one of which appears to have been recorded on the day of the Feb. 14 shooting, Cruz, 19, calmly outlines his plans. 
 
 “When you see me on the news you’ll know who I am,” he says, chuckling. “You’re all going to die. Pew pew pew pew pew. Ah yeah. Can’t wait.” 
 
 Prosecutors released the videos on Wednesday.

 Not everything went according to Cruz’s plan — he discussed taking an Uber to the campus, getting to the third floor and shooting students in the courtyard outside the school. He did arrive at the school by Uber, but never set up like a sniper shooting down into the escaping crowd. 
 
 Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jaime was one of the victims, said he read a transcript of the videos but chose not to look at them. 
 
 “I already know what he did,” said Guttenberg. “He’s evil. Repulsive. He deserves to be dead. ... He talked about how he was going to be someone now. It’s a level of thought that I can’t comprehend. It looks, from the words, like the kid had joy. I don’t want to see the delight he took in planning the murders of our children.” 
 
 Chief Assistant Public Defender Gordon Weekes declined to comment on the videos’ contents, “out of respect for the families of the victims.” 
 
 Defense lawyers have offered to have Cruz plead guilty in exchange for a sentence of life in prison, arguing it would spare the victims’ families from having to relive the tragedy through what is certain to be a lengthy trial and appellate process. 
 
 The released videos are not long, but they offer a disturbing look at Cruz’s determination to gain public notoriety. 
 
 “My name is Nik, and I’m going to be the next school shooter of 2018,” he said. “My goal is at least 20 people.” 
 
 Cruz killed 17 and wounded 17. He faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder, which requires prosecutors to prove the crime was premeditated. 
 
 That job, according to the father of one victim, was made simple by the statements made in the videos. 
 
 “Today is the day. The day that it all begins. The day of my massacre shall begin,” Cruz says. “All the kids in school will run in fear and hide. From the wrath of my power they will know who I am.” 
 
 Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was among the dead, said Cruz can now rule out an insanity plea. 
 
 “It just shows this kid was competent. This whole thing was premeditated murder,” he said. “This kid knew exactly what he was doing.” 
 
 Cruz offered only vague hints about his motive. 
 
 “I’ve had enough being told what to do and when to do. ... Telling me I’m an idiot and a dumbass,” he says. “In real life, you’re all the dumbass. You’re all stupid and brainwashed.” 
 
 He also singled out a girl or woman named “Angie,” vowing to always love her. 
 
 “I hope to see you in the afterlife,” he says. 
 
 Angie’s identity was not immediately clear — the name did not belong to any of the murdered or wounded victims.

 Twitter @SSCourts and @rolmeda ||||| Coral Springs, Florida (CNN) The former student who gunned down 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, recorded his plans on three cellphone videos, saying in one that he would try to kill at least 20 people. 
 
 According to newly released transcripts of the videos obtained from a source close to the investigation, Nikolas Cruz details how he will carry out the shooting. 
 
 "I'm gonna go take Uber in the afternoon before 2:40 (p.m.). From there I'll go into -- onto school campus, walk up the stairs, unload my bags and get my AR and shoot people down at the man -- what is it? -- the main courtyard, wait, and people will die," he says. 
 
 Investigators discovered the videos on the gunman's cellphone, which was taken into evidence after the shooting. The videos are listed on the prosecution's discovery list. Authorities didn't say when the videos were recorded. 
 
 "He knew what he was doing," said Andrew Pollack, father of Meadow Pollack, a senior who was killed. Pollack said that Cruz, whom he refers to as "18-1958" (Cruz's case number), won't be able to claim at trial that he was insane or that he didn't know what he was doing. "It's all premeditated murder."

– "Hello. My name is Nik and I'm going to be the next school shooter of 2018." So begins one of three short cellphone videos recorded by Nikolas Cruz at some point before he killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14. "My goal is at least 20 people with an AR-15," Cruz says to the camera. He then laughs, "You're all going to die," before making gun sound effects. "Pew, pew, pew," he says. "Can't wait." In another clip, Cruz lays out his plan. "I'll go into the school campus, walk up the stairs … get my AR and shoot people down," the 19-year-old says, per the Miami Herald. A third video may have been recorded on the day of the shooting. "Today is the day," Cruz is heard saying. "All the kids in the school will run in fear and hide. From the wrath of my power they will know who I am." Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was killed in the shooting, worries the videos released Wednesday as part of the discovery phase of Cruz's case will only bring the shooter more of the publicity he apparently sought. "When you see me on the news, you'll know who I am," Cruz says in one of the videos. Still, the videos indicate premeditation, necessary for a first-degree murder conviction, and show Cruz was "competent," Pollack tells CNN and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Cruz only touches on his motives in the videos. Though he professes his undying love to a girl, he describes a "meaningless" life of "seclusion and solitude" and classmates who saw him as an "idiot and a dumb ass." Though Cruz's defense attorneys have offered a guilty plea in exchange for a life sentence, Broward County prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty.
