The 14-year-old student who opened fire on classmates in a horror mass shooting at Apalachee High School was on the radar of the FBI a year before the tragedy, it has emerged.
The federal agency said it interviewed accused gunman Colt Gray, 14, and his father last year following 'several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time.'
Officials said Gray 'denied making the threats online' at the time, and the only action taken was to warn local schools to 'continually monitor' the troubled teen.

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
Let me guess.....he was going to a psychiatrist, like all the other school shooters.

It is becoming the standard story on these shootings that the FBI was aware of the shooter, and had even made contact with him, and did nothing to prevent the attack. But, If you are an elderly person seeking to counsel young women in front of a planned parenthood, the FBI will have you locked up so fast your head will spin.
The democrats have their priorities.

Which means that the sheriff who "never thought I would see a school shooting in my lifetime" in his district would have been informed a year earlier that he had a nut case going to school there. This country used to have controlled Reform Schools for nut cases like this but school psychologists banned those in favor of "mainstreaming" troubled youth. The results are predictable.

The schools have enough on their plates without having to monitor mentally ill students. He should have been taken out of public school and put somewhere else. Again the FBI did not do their job!!!!

WE know this child did not go to the local gun store and purchase this weapon. Can we assume it was his father's.
If we assume that we have to assume his father after being informed by the FBI still left his weapons lying around to be used. Put he and his son in the same cell.

His father should be in jail as well. The kid sounds like a walking time bomb.

It seems that in almost every a school shooting, the shooter's intentions were unmistakable a long time before the crime occurred. That happened at M.S. Douglas HS on Broward, and the authorities, including the FBI, did nothing. Coming to the conclusion that the government wants these shootings to take place is alomst inevitable. They have no excuses. A lot of government people need to join the private sector and do something useful with their lives. We've concluded that they are no good.

They were too busy planning the Mar A Lago raid to worry about some little 14 year old teener...

A day late and a dollar short. They had to hunt down grandma in Timbuktu first for walking by the Capitol on J6 first.

If you could pass a law to prevent this, what would it say? What should happen to a minor who makes an online threat to kill people? What should be required of his parents?

The problem with our legal system is that it is reactive, rather than proactive. In other words, you pretty much have to have the actual crime for it to be a "creditable threat."
Not that I would have it the other way. It would be like Tom Cruise's film, "Minority Report" - without the three psychics. And we see how well that worked out, even with them - evil forces still figured out how to game the system.
I don't know what the answer to this is.

There is no way to arrest someone for words unde our system.
Lots of glib BS comments...."incompetent FBI"..."dropped the ball"...etc. They solve nothing, and don't even hint at a solution.
We should think of solutions.....but there are none, other than a system where public threats of violence gets you committed to a psych ward--- for how long? And who decides.
Maybe that could work, but frankly I fear giving that power to government more than I fear the occasional random nutcase shooter.
