PARKLAND, Fla. — Florida’s child welfare agency investigated the suspect in a school shooting that killed 17 people after he cut himself in a video but found him stable, according to state records. The agency concluded that Cruz had not been mistreated by his mother, was receiving adequate care from a mental health counsellor and was attending school. In a statement, the agency acknowledged that the tip should have been shared with the FBI’s Miami office and investigated, but it was not. The comment posted by a “Nikolas Cruz” said, “Im going to be a professional school shooter.”The FBI investigated the remark but did not determine who made it. ——Follow the AP’s complete coverage of the Florida school shooting here: https://apnews.com/tag/Floridaschoolshooting .
