Florida school shooting: FBI mishandled tip on gunman's 'desire to kill'

in #vbbb7 years ago

The FBI has said it did not properly follow up on a warning that Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz might carry out an attack.

Last month, a person close to the 19-year-old contacted the law enforcement agency to warn of "the potential of him conducting a school shooting".

But protocols were not followed and the tipline did not pass along the complaint, the FBI said.

It was not the first potential warning to the FBI regarding Mr Cruz._100064677_gettyimages-918778204.jpg
