Florida's state social services agency investigated Nikolas Cruz's home life more than a year before police say he killed 17 people at his former high school, closing the inquiry after determining that his "final level of risk is low," despite learning that the teenager had behavioral struggles and was planning to buy a gun, according to an investigative report. The investigation detailed several unnerving behaviors from Cruz, including that he had cut his arms on Snapchat, had a Nazi symbol and a racial epithet on his backpack and intended to purchase a gun for unknown reasons, according to a Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) report obtained by The Washington Post.
