Some wanted shooting suspect forcibly committed in 2016

Nikolas Cruz is lead out of the courtroom after a March 14, 2018 arraignment hearing at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Cruz is accused of the shooting rampage that killed 14 students and three school employees at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14. More than a year earlier, documents in the criminal case against Cruz school officials and a sheriff's deputy recommended in September 2016 that he be involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation. But the recommendation was never acted upon. (Amy Beth Bennett/South Florida Sun-Sentinel via AP, File)
