Lars Larson: FBI failed us on school shooting

By Lars Larson
NW and national radio host,

Police in Winder (wine-dur), Georgia have charged 14 year old Colt Gray with the shooting at a high school that took four lives.

Once again, the FBI seems to have failed, miserably just like they did with the school shooting in Parkland, Florida six years ago that took 17 lives.

In both cases, the FBI had advance warning of a threat and the name and identity of the would be shooter.

The FBI confirms it investigated Colt Gray, last year, for posting threats to shoot, identified that he had access to guns and took no action.

This mirrors what the FBI and local law enforcement did and didn’t do in Parkland back in 2018.

Yesterday morning, Apalachee High literally got a phone warning that the school would be the first of five targets for a shooting.

Yet Colt Gray managed to walk into the school with a rifle.

During school, Gray left his classroom but when he came back to a locked door, a classmate refused to let him in, so he went to another room and began shooting.

Apalachee had a school cop on duty and when he confronted the teen, the killer immediately surrendered.

I’ll remind you that too many schools in the Pacific Northwest responded to those rioting mobs in the streets four years ago and kicked school resource officers to the curb.

Georgia will try Colt Gray as an adult for murder. Oregon law would charge him as a juvenile and no matter what he’d walk out of custody in a dozen years with no record.

Election year offers voters an opportunity to change that.
