The FBI revealed Friday it got a tip last month that Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old accused of killing 17 people on Valentine's Day, had a gun, wanted to “kill people” and there was the “potential of him conducting a school shooting.”

The agency in a statement admitted receiving a call on Jan. 5, 2018 from a person close to Cruz who contacted the FBI through its Public Access Line tipline to express concerns about Cruz's erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts

"Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life," the statement said. "We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5."

In concluded that the caller's information was not forwarded to the Miami FBI field office and "no further investigation was conducted at the time." FBI Director Christopher Wray said the Bureau would review what had happened.

“We are still investigating the facts. I am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this particular matter, as well as reviewing our processes for responding to information that we receive from the public," Wray said in the statement. "It’s up to all Americans to be vigilant, and when members of the public contact us with concerns, we must act properly and quickly."

He continued: "We have spoken with victims and families, and deeply regret the additional pain this causes all those affected by this horrific tragedy. All of the men and women of the FBI are dedicated to keeping the American people safe, and are relentlessly committed to improving all that we do and how we do it.”.......

In their report, deputies detailed how the teen had been harming himself and had talked about buying a gun.

A HOT tip to the FBI hotline last month with full details and the EFF-Bee- Aye does not pass it along to their local South Florida office or contact local LEO.

OMG --This is Huge.

They need to be disbanded.

Its why you should send in a tip to both fed and local LEOs. Perhaps a call to any mental health orgs in the area.

This explains why their were in contact with the YouTube tipster, Ben the bondsmen so quickly the day of the massacre.

They knew they had dropped the ball and were trying to cover their tracks.

Too late.

And this relative or friend that tipped the FBI should get in front of a microphone and proclaim what has happened.

They didn’t even bother to pass the tip to the field office.

This is a perfect excuse for Trump to clean house at the FBI.

Wray will go in front of Congress and pin the dysfunction on a lack of adequate resources.

review what happened? review?

how about, perp walking the person responsible for forwarding the information, who did not forward that information, as an accessory to murder?

that’s the only “review” that will be acceptable

Did you hear one mother of a victim literally screaming at the top of her lungs at Trump at some damned rally? If you lost a kid to this kind of violence, would you be able to go to a rally less than 24 hours after it happened?? I’d be in bed, sedated! (This is getting to your point that even Dem Victims like school shootings.)

The USA culture is broadly imploding on itself. Not sure the FBI is remotely equipped to prop her up.

My question is wondering if safety is even possible. Does the Bureau really have the budget and manpower to really invade every county in America, free to morph us into a police state? International spy operations, sabotage, internet conspiracies, indoctrinations and disfunctional families? These evils reach everywhere, now.

This is a condition of the times and tech advancement has done its part. All of it to be rather expected after a nation ejects God and re-makes churches into warm tolerance therapy, and public schools shaping out Americanism, while training generations for Neanderthal thinking.

Very depressing.

If you had called the tip line with info on Russian collusion by Trump..........

This organization may be politicized beyond repair. Sad, sad state of affairs.

Guns don’t kill people, the FBI does.
