Broward Sheriff: His office got 20 calls about suspect

For his part, Trump made two brief stops – at a hospital and a sheriff’s office – in Florida on Saturday, where he praised the doctors, police officers and others who responded in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, The Washington Post reported.

He went on, “It’s sad something like that could happen”.

Sessions said it was clear that “warning signs were there and tips to the Federal Bureau of Investigation were missed”.

“It’s an incredible thing”, President Trump said.

Fifteen of the 17 victims of Wednesday’s Florida massacre.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, also called for the House and Senate to conduct investigations into how the FBI reviews public tips in similar instances.

“Give them a raise”. The president has repeatedly slammed the nation’s premier law enforcement agency and its leaders, writing on Twitter that its reputation was in “tatters”.

Trump said he originally planned to visit the Parkland area on Sunday or Monday, but decided he didn’t want to wait. “It is unknown what he is buying the gun for”, said a report written by department officials after investigators interviewed the teenager, the Sun Sentinel said. “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”, Wray said.

The First Lady shared a few words for the community as well.

Thank you for signing up. They are our future.

The FBI has also separately been criticized by some Republicans over its investigation of allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, heaping further scrutiny on the agency led by Wray since President Donald Trump fired James Comey a year ago. The president later placed calls of condolence and support to Parkland’s mayor, a Broward County commissioner and the school’s principal.

“I can’t believe that when I go back to school, his seat will be empty and life will just go on”, Fischer wrote. It’s inevitable. I think that’s a facade that the GOP is putting up. They all believe that we need to do a better job of receiving these signs and acting on them and following up on them better. They say they are exhausted of seeing blood and corpses on classroom floors, and they want their generation to be the catalyst for change. The students say yes.
