Florida Gov. Rick Scott Calls On FBI Director to Resign for Failing to Investigate Tip

Cruz, 19, faces 17 counts of premeditated murder in connection with the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The FBI confirmed Friday that a tipster who was close to Cruz called the FBI on Jan. 5 and provided information about Cruz’s guns, desire to kill people, erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts.

FBI officials said the caller expressed concerns Cruz could attack a school.

Robert Lasky, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Miami field office, said agents in the Miami field office were never notified about the tip.

“The FBI has determined that protocol was not followed. The information was not provided to the Miami field office and no further investigation was conducted at that time,” Lasky said Friday at a news conference. “We will conduct an in-depth review of our internal procedures for responding to information that is provided by the public.”

The FBI was also notified about a comment on a YouTube video posted by a “Nikolas Cruz” last year. 

“The comment simply said, ‘I’m going to be a professional school shooter,'” Lasky said Thursday. “No other information was included with that comment, which would indicate a time, location or true identity of the person who made that comment.”
