Nikolas Cruz was searched daily for weapons while he was still enrolled in high school
A security guard has testified that Nikolas Cruz was such a threat when he attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that he was searched for weapons every morning.
Cruz, now 20, confessed to police that he returned to the Parkland, Florida, school on Valentine's Day 2018, when he was no longer a student, and killed 14 students and three educators.
Security guard Kevin Greenleaf testified that Cruz was barred from bringing a backpack on campus after talking of suicide and writing 'kill' in a notebook.
'Never found a weapon on him,' Greenleaf explained in the July 11 deposition.
'I think we got concerned when, I think, we found out he drank bleach, tried to hurt himself or something like that, the kid. That's when we started, like, having the kid come in every morning to be searched by me, but never found a weapon on the kid, never,' Greenleaf continued.
