FBI Statement on the Shooting in Parkland, Florida

On January 5, 2018, a person close to Nikolas Cruz contacted the FBI’s Public Access Line (PAL) tipline to report concerns about him. The caller provided information about Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting.
Under established protocols, the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life. The information then should have been forwarded to the FBI Miami Field Office, where appropriate investigative steps would have been taken.
We have determined that these protocols were not followed for the information received by the PAL on January 5. The information was not provided to the Miami Field Office, and no further investigation was conducted at that time.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said:
“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. 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.
“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.”

  1. Never, ever call a tip line….as the tip never, ever gets acted upon. The FBI tip line is essentially a call center that goes nowhere too fast. Caller should have called the BSO and told them as they were very familiar with Cruz and maybe, just maybe did something like take him to the local funny farm for a few months…..

  2. This action was a long-time coming, and completely set up by the FBI. That’s why they were visiting the school and training the teachers and students for the upcoming “drill.” They were also training Cruz for the upcoming mass event, but not calling it a drill. Get it? They wanted it to happen just like this.
    This kind of thing was foiled in Portland, Oregon a few years ago when the FBI’s patsy showed up at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony to set off a b omb. The FBI had given him the b omb materials. Then the FBI arrested him. Get it? They train and supply the perps.
    Communist Goal #35: de-legitimize the FBI and then do away with it.

  3. one has to wonder if this actually happened. i mean,come on now. interesting he claimed he was going to the former school to shoot people. how does a persons desire to shoot people automatically make it a place where he was no longer a student? why not shoot people art his job? or the neighbors? sounds phony.
