FBI ‘Deeply Regrets’ Failing to Investigate Tip About Nikolas Cruz

Edition of the Daily Mail reported at least seven dead and over 50 injured children.

The revelation that the Federal Bureau of Investigation botched a potentially life-saving tip on the Florida school shooting suspect is a devastating blow to America’s top law enforcement agency at a time when it is under extraordinary political pressure. He had know then there was something “wrong” about him. His AR-15 had been purchased legally in the state.

“And after every single shooting that’s what they say over and over again, but nothing every changes”, says Carly Novell, 17, who hid in a closet for two hours to escape the gunman.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas junior Cameron Kasky told CNN Friday morning that students felt that “our politicians had abandoned us”.

“He was a very good shot”, said Aaron Diener, 20, who gave Cruz a ride to shooting competitions when they were part of the same four-member team in 2016.

Therapists say it’s really important to not dismiss what your kids are saying, but to really listen and be supportive.

The FBI admitted in a statement Friday that it received a call on January 5 detailing concerns about Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old law enforcement officials believe is responsible for the deaths of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School earlier this week.

“What I understand is that was answered appropriately”, said Stuart Kaplan, an attorney who also represents Sunrise Tactical Supply.

Based on that fact and that he “did not make any threats of harm to him or others”, the report said, Barela advised that it was unnecessary to invoke a Florida law allowing police to put a mentally ill person in custody.

Several Broward County lawmakers rushed to South Florida. The caller was concerned that Cruz could attack a school. My high school looked like a war zone. Malcolm Roxburgh said a neighbour across the street kept pigs, and Cruz targeted the family.

Earlier, it emerged a person close to Cruz called the FBI’s public tip-off line on January 5 and provided information about his guns and his erratic behaviour, including his expressed desire to kill people and his disturbing social media posts.

“It wasn’t like there wasn’t concern for him, ” Mr Furr said.

“We’ll do the same thing we’ve been doing”.

But it does not check for school expulsions, other mental health history or domestic disturbances that do not result in criminal charges. Hundreds of students will die in the coming decades at the hands of men who have easy access to guns and who have grown up in an age where violence is glorified in American culture.

“We need to take it into our hands”, Kasky said.

“We can’t ignore the issues of gun control that this tragedy raises”.

“We are angry! We are angry!” the students cried.

The Senate Appropriations Committee had been scheduled to take up the proposal as part of a wide-ranging package (SB 740) involving the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

“The friend’s father said something like, ‘It’s Valentine’s Day”.

News of law enforcement’s admissions enraged those in the community. “We want safety! We want safety!” If there is an outcry for new gun legislation or better background checks, it often fades in days or weeks. “If you ask me, it’s way too late”.

The 19-year-old accused, who had been expelled from Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for disciplinary reason, had in 2017 left warning signs on social media.
