Teachers were warned in advance about the teenager who allegedly carried out a mass shooting at his former school in Florida, US media are reporting.
Nikolas Cruz has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder following the deadliest shooting at a US school since 2012.
A teacher said Mr Cruz was not allowed on campus with a backpack.
Seventeen people were killed in the attack and many more injured. Several people are in a critical condition.
Mr Cruz, 19, apparently left the scene of the shooting by blending in with fleeing students, but was arrested a few miles away and is now in police custody.
Maths teacher Jim Gard told the Miami Herald that school authorities had emailed teachers about Mr Cruz's behaviour.
"We were told last year that he wasn't allowed on campus with a backpack on him," Mr Gard told the Miami Herald.
"There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus."
