FBI
FAIL: Florida Shooter REPORTED HIMSELF to Law Enforcement Last
November
26
February, 20178
The
lone gunman behind this months’ devastating attack on a south
Florida high school reported himself to law enforcement just after
Thanksgiving, telling officials he was “struggling” in the wake
of his mother’s death just weeks before.
According
to the New
York Times,
19-year old Nikolas Cruz placed the call after physically assaulting
a friend in late November; saying “The thing is I lost my mother a
couple of weeks ago, so like I am dealing with a bunch of things
right now.”
Those
familiar with the message say he sounded “child-like” and “out
of breath.”
The
red flag is just one of several warning signs missed by federal and
local authorities. The FBI is under fire over another highly specific
tip made just weeks before Cruz’s rampage, with a family friend
telling authorities the former student may go “into a school and
just shoot the place up.”
The
Broward County Sheriff’s Department is under similar scrutiny after
reports that an armed Deputy refused to enter the school during the
shooting, opting to wait for back-up and other law enforcement to
arrive on the scene.
Nikolas
Cruz opened fire at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on
February 14th; killing seventeen people and injuring dozens before
being arrested nearly a mile from the site of the mass shooting.
