FT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (WTXL) - South Florida school-shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz appeared in court for the second time Monday, his first appearance in person.

The 19-year-old kept his head down and did not appear to make eye contact with the judge or others in the courtroom.

Cruz is charged with killing 17 people and wounding many others in Wednesday's shooting attack.

The hearing concerned the rules going forward of how documents would be sealed.

The circuit judge was in favor of openness whenever possible.
