Mental Health Officials Evaluated Cruz, Decided Against Treatment

Mental health professionals examined the Parkland school shooting suspect two years ago.  

According to NBC News, a Florida state report shows a team from a mental health crisis center was called to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2016 to assess Nikolas Cruz.  

Health professionals ultimately decided against hospitalizing him for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. The school called the organization because of a Snapchat video in which Cruz cut his arms and said he planned to get a gun.  

The 19-year-old is charged with shooting and killing 17 people at the school last week.
