The FBI admits it failed to act on a warning about Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz when informed about potentially dangerous behavior.
The warning came from a person close to Cruz on an anonymous FBI tipline warning about his possession of a gun, his disturbing social media posts, and his desire to kill people, according to the FBI.
The tip off was delivered on January 5, 2018.
The information was not sent to the FBI Miami field office, which the FBI blamed on a failure to act under “established protocols.”
“We are still investigating the facts,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. “I am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this particular matter.”
Wray added that it was the FBI’s job to “act properly and quickly” when informed of troubling behavior by the public. He expressed “regret” for the additional pain that the information would have for families and friends of those killed by Cruz.

The FBI is too busy meddling in politics to bother with school shooters.
How many agents are slated for transfer to Fairbanks, Alaska?
The entire FBI agency appears to be staffed with nincompoops.
The FBI is too busy trying to execute a Coup to be bothered with a simple criminal situation.
Lowlife control is more effective than gun control. There was a time in America when one street smart cop would have handled this kid. No problem.
WHO AT THE FBI GAVE THE ORDER TO STAND DOWN in order to ALLOW this school shooting to happen?
FBI too busy trying to undermine Trump and/or playing footsie under lunch tables. Then too all the affirmative action Obama hires don’t help.
Much to do about nothing, as his crime was not a federal matter. Murder, even mass murder, is a state issue.

Why is this out of breaking news? Just broke on Breitbart, Daily Mail, and Reuters, Wall Street Journal, etc. within the past 15 minutes. This is new info about a different report.
The FBI was too busy stonewalling Congress and declaring it’s unconstitutional independence to actually worry about protecting the citizens.
This may be fake news....but if it is not, we need a new FBI

How's Noor Salman, Omar Mateen's wife doing, FBI. You freakin' IDIOTS.
A guy I work with has a grandniece who was shot at this. He claims her brother heard the killer yelling out something like an islamic shout during the shooting. This is third hand information. The also said they were reporting this. I’ve heard nothing about it in the media.
Not helping the FBI’s already tarnished reputation. The one question I have is how many such tips the FBI receives? Unless they are swamped with tips such as this, then their failure to act here seems inexcusable.
As in National Treaure. “We didn’t feel the tip had credibility “. Agent Sandusky “How about now?”
If you see something,say something - and be ignored.
There is definitely a problem in this country with over-enforcement for the law abiding and under enforcement for the lawbreaking.
They say he had no record previous to the mass-shooting, but the threats he made are in fact crimes against federal law and the penalty is five years in prison.
The existing law was not enforced against this individual, instead, they want to create a whole slew of other laws that will also be selectively enforced.
