bunglers be bungling: Sue everybody!

Parents of Parkland shooting victim sue FBI over bungled tips

Nikolas Cruz, a former student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, walked into the school with an AR-15 on Valentine’s Day last year, firing round after round. Carmen Schentrup was among 17 who died that day. Another 17 were wounded. Cruz, 20, has confessed to the massacre and is awaiting trial. One warning about the unstable young man who’d been stockpiling guns and threatening to shoot up a school came on Jan 5, 2018. “I know he’s going to explode,” the tipster told the FBI. Forty days later, Cruz walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High and “executed” Carmen Schentrup along with 16 other students and staff. The FBI phone operator who took the tip that Cruz “was going to slip into a school and start shooting the place up” never passed it along to the agency’s Miami field office, the lawsuit says. That fatal mistake was a clear violation of protocol — a fact acknowledged by the FBI just two days after the shooting.
