At a press conference this morning the FBI explained their investigation into the youtube comment left last year by the Parkland high school shooter where he said “I’m going to become a professional school shooter.”
Watch:
"In 2017 the FBI received information about a comment made on a YouTube channel. The comment simply said, I'm going to be a professional school shooter," says Robert Lasky, special agent in charge of the Miami division of the FBI. pic.twitter.com/1KyDzm4lES

In short, the FBI said they were unable to ascertain the identity of the youtube commenter at the time so they didn’t know it was Nikolas Cruz.
What a shame.
