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.

Big time fail all the way around. Florida even has a “protocol” for LE and Mental health practitioners to have folks with apparent mental issues involuntarily examined, see “Baker Act”. Shooter may have even had a voluntary exam if approached appropriately. Never know now.
This week-ends new movie, Black Panther, will exacerbate the violence that Americans are subject to each hour of the day be it HBO, TV, MOVIES, and ADS..."social media" is teaming with wanna be's....they are sick people and the mass media feeds them all the garbage they can eat....smart phones are not smart, they are crippling...
That’s the ticket!
Offer the Eff-Bee-Aye negative information and Russian collusion evidence on Trump in exchange for them acting to halt terrorism against our school children.
why Trump doesnt clean house is beyond me....hes got to get it together...man.
“This explains why their were in contact with the YouTube tipster, Ben the bondsmen so quickly the day of the massacre.
Sad to say, but it wouldn’t have surprised me if the FBI visit to Ben The Bondsman hours after the school shooting would’ve resulted in Ben’s “suicide” by two shots to the back of the head. Get rid of Ben. Get rid of screen shots. YouTube had already disappeared, I believe.
The FBI couldn’t ID Cruz even though he used his “real” name in that Youtube posting.
Really?
The incompetent FBI deep state Obama holdovers....SHAME ON YOU!
That woman isn’t particularly bright. Trump and gun control could not have stopped this.
If she actually listened, it may have been possible to stop this kid. The FBI, once again, dropped the ball.
I can understand anger, but most people are still in shock yet. Most aren’t willing to go there yet with the politics.
I feel bad for her dead child. Being a screaming shrew disrespects her child.
Let’s have a “national conversion” about why the FBI can’t manage to respond to specific, detailed, credible information about an imminent threat to murder school children.
So this is what a liberal biased law agency looks like.
Sorry Mr Wray, you don’t see bias in the FBI, you, sir, are part of the problem.
If the “tip line” was so overwhelming, DO something about.
Get more people, out source the line, try to do your job instead of screwing around with phantoms. And as most private business does...no INTERNAL ROMANCES. You government workers have it made.
Dirty and incompetent.
It's because Rostenstein and Wray have all their resources committed to framing President Trump for a non-existent crime.
It must be tough to be an FNI agent.
Them 50,000 texts just ain’t gonna send themselves now are they?
“If you see something, say something” they tell us.
While people all over America been telling America’s KGB all about it and they did nothing?
Today they indicted 14 Russians for using Facebook.
They spent seven years looking for the anthrax killer, going after the wrong guy the whole time.
They broke up Arther Andersen-who I used to work for, by the way.
And not that I admire Martha Stewart in any way, but the Keystone KGB put her in jail for the reasons she gave for selling stock.
She was probably lying but what happened to the concept of a trial and justice?
If I’ve learned nothing these past few weeks it’s that America has a Keystone police force worth nothing.
Your points about our current condition are well made and I agree. I do not want to live in a police state.
At the same time, the warning signs around this young man were flashing brightly, from multiple sources. This investigation could have been run by a couple of normal citizens with better results.
It’s a crime to lie to the FBI. I have no idea in what law that’s rooted in, but that is ridiculous.
It’s called a ‘process crime’. Here’s one: Lawyer. You shut up and tell them nothing. Even if subpoenaed, there’s the 5th amendment right to self-incrimination. If lying to the FBI is a lie, then saying anything at all to them is potentially incriminating.
Way, way, too much off-the-books judicialism.
You’re right about that madam. But since Ben is a clever lil bondsmen, something tells me he had his back covered.
He knew who he was dealing with and was not naive when the news broke.
Eff-Bee-Aye was likely met at the door by his posse of PitBulls and all correspondence was already in a CLOUD to FOXnews.
(I noticed that they immediately asked Ben where he was... better to meet them on your home turf than in transit to the local field office.)
They have too many resources allocated to cover up Hillary’s crimes and trying to frame Trump and Trump associates.
They don’t have time or interest in the mass murder of children unless they get to participate. [Waco, Ruby Ridge]
maybe the FBI is just colorblind
All of those red flags just look grey to them
