The FBI had reportedly been warned that a YouTube user named Nikolas Cruz posted a comment on a video saying, “Im going to be a professional school shooter,” according to a report from BuzzFeed News.
The report comes after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz was charged with murdering 17 people after a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The comment was made last fall on a YouTube from Mississippi, and the user “nikolas cruz” made a comment that said, “Im going to be a professional school shooter.” Another user alerted the FBI upon viewing the comment.
The FBI then contacted the user who posted the YouTube video and conducted an interview with him.
After the initial FBI contact, the user who contacted the FBI said that no other action was taken by officials.
BuzzFeed News has added that the username’s link to the shooter has yet to be confirmed.
