Nikolas Cruz
The discrepancy is part of a wider narrative regarding law enforcement's response surrounding  the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland  Florida  where former student Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people on Feb. 14 .
 Cruz 's run-ins with police prior to  the shooting  have been a sticking point in the gun control debate. Israel and the sheriff's office claim they received no more than 23 family service calls regarding  Cruz  or his brother  CNN reported.
Of those calls  18 involved  Cruz   but the sheriff’s office stated that none of these “appeared arrestable under Florida law.”

According to CNN’s review of the records  there were at least 19 calls relating to  Cruz  and an additional 25 regarding his younger brother. The calls report escalating behavior from the brothers  ranging from fighting  running away  hitting their mother  and an accusation against  Cruz  for shooting a chicken with a BB gun.
The records include a disturbing revelation: In 2016  a neighbor warned the sheriff's office that  Cruz  posted on Instagram about "planning to shoot up the school." The neighbor spoke to CNN this week and said she was told at the time that authorities could do nothing about the threat until  Cruz  actually did something.
The day that  Cruz ’s mother died  on Nov. 1  a family member contacted the Broward Sheriff's Office and voiced concerns that  Cruz  was collecting rifles. On Nov. 30  a Massachusetts tipster cautioned that  Cruz  was “collecting guns and knives” and “could be a school shooter in the making ” according to CNN.
The FBI has also admitted that it failed to follow up or investigate tips on  Cruz .
