The FBI is admitting that it failed to investigate the shooter who killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida this week. Now, Florida Governor Rick Scott is calling on FBI Director Christopher Wray's resignation. Axios Reporter Stef Kight explains the implications of these findings.
In a statement Friday, the FBI says a person close to the suspect Nikolas Cruz contacted the agency public access line with information that should have been assessed as a potential threat to life.
"This is now the second time we've seen horrific shootings followed by someone admitting guilt that this maybe could have been prevented had protocol been followed," says Kight. "This is a trend now, and its a tragic one."
Kight reminds viewers of the Sutherland Springs church shooting last fall. It was revealed that the Air Force did not properly log a domestic violence conviction against the suspect, which would have prevented him from legally purchasing a gun.
