Nikolas Cruz is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for a status hearing, nearly a week after he pleaded guilty to murdering 17 people and attempting to kill 17 others in the Feb. 14, 2018, school shooting in Parkland.

The father of a 14-year-old girl killed in the 2018 Florida high school shooting massacre is joining the top ranks of a progressive anti-gun group to promote like-minded political candidates around the country ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

Some of the families of those killed in the Parkland school shooting say they had no idea a guilty plea was coming for confessed shooter Nikolas Cruz, but they said the defense team’s announcement Friday doesn’t surprise them.

Wednesday marked the second day of jury selection in Nikolas Cruz’s trial stemming from a caught-on-camera jail guard attack in November 2018.

Jury selection began Tuesday after Nikolas Cruz's battery trial was briefly delayed.

Broward County Judge Elizabeth Scherer on Monday denied the Broward County Public Defender’s Office’s request to delay the battery trial of confessed Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz until the lead attorney on his case recuperates from an illness.
