Florida shooting: FBI was alerted about threat on YouTube


Florida shooting: FBI was alerted about threat posted on YouTube
BY MICHAEL KOSNAR AND DANIEL ARKIN


A YouTube user who used the same name as the suspected Florida gunman was investigated by the FBI for a comment boasting about plans to shoot up a school, the agency said Thursday.

The FBI was alerted to the comment but failed to identify the user, said Robert Lasky, the FBI agent in charge of the Miami division. The comment did not include information about timing or location, Lasky said at a news conference.

The suspect in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, identified as 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz, has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder, officials said Thursday.
