FBI director promises inquiry after admitting Bureau was warned SIX WEEKS AGO that Florida shooter wanted to kill people and was stockpiling guns but did not investigate or pass to Miami office
The FBI received information last month, from an individual who knew Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz, warning the agency that the 19-year-old might stage an attack.
The individual stated that Cruz had multiple guns, expressed a strong desire to kill people, frequently exhibited erratic behavior and shared disturbing social media posts.
The FBI said the caller also expressed concerns Cruz could attack a school. The agency did nothing to investigate and didn't even pass the information on to their Miami bureau.
Cruz killed 17 people and injured 14 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (center) on Wednesday.
Last night, 1,000 people gathered at the school for a candlelit vigil (inset) to remember the victims. Cruz's Instagram was filled with disturbing posts, apparently picturing him showing off his many weapons (left).
