Federal Bureau of Investigation admits it failed to investigate tip on Florida school shooting suspect

“One of the stipulations of him moving in was that he had to get a gun safe before he moved in”, said Snead. “. The families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen, and an apology will never give them the answers they desperately need”.

“We knew he had troubles and a couple of issues, but I’ve raised three boys, and I thought we could help”, James Snead told The New York Times on Sunday.

“We have spoken with victims and families, and deeply regret the additional pain this causes all those affected by this horrific tragedy”, Wray said in a statement.

Cruz was charged Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

A former student accused of last week’s deadly shooting at a Florida high school returned to court for a hearing on Monday in a case that has galvanized advocates of stricter gun control, including numerous rampage survivors. They took him in last Thanksgiving after their son asked if he could move in with them.

Court documents obtained by Inside Edition show Cruz’s adoptive father, Roger P. Cruz died in 2004 of a heart attack, leaving a $1,000,000 estate, leaving many wondering whether the alleged shooter was about to come into a huge fortune.

On Wednesday afternoon, after Cruz was arrested, Bennight got a call from an agent in the FBI’s Miami field office, who wanted to follow up on the September incident, he said.

The bio on one of his Instagram accounts read, “annihilator”. “The other ones he had, we had no idea about”.

In two instances, Cruz also discussed killing small animals. He took a business card and was figuring out what his health insurance could cover, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“The comment simply said, ‘I’m going to be a professional school shooter, ‘” Rob Lasky, the Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent in charge of the agency’s Miami division, said Thursday. “We’re learning a lot about all of this just the same as everyone else”.

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) has asked a court to release the records for transparency, adding it has reviewed the circumstances surrounding the 2016 case. “It crushed everybody’s world in our community”.

The chat group, named by Cruz, is “Murica (American flag emoji) (eagle emoji) great”, CNN reported.

They said they didn’t know about his social media posts which paint him as a racist “professional school shooter”.

In early 2017, Cruz bought an AR-15-style rifle from a small nearby gun store, Sunrise Tactical Supply in Coral Springs. Kimberly Snead had taken Cruz to the office of a therapist just five days before the shooting, and he had said he was open to therapy and took a business card.

“We didn’t speak with him, I more of yelled at him”, Kimberly said.

“I went to the door and [police] had guns on me, tell me put my hands in the air, ‘Are you alone in the house?'” Kimberly Snead said. The Sneads said taking him in was the right thing to do.

On Friday, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel told the media reports of Cruz having a gas mask and grenades during the shooting are not true.

James Snead said their son feels betrayed and angry.

Snead, 48, a construction consultant, said they were also unaware that Florida’s Department of Children and Family Services had checked on Cruz’s erratic behavior in recent years.
