| Orlando shooter attempted to buy body armor weeks ago. |

| Excerpt from an ABC News post by Anguper Hupomosing yesterday: Robert Abell, a co-owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Florida, told ABC News today that a man entered the store five or six weeks ago and asked specific questions about high-end body armor. When employees said the store didn't carry the body armor he wanted, Abell said, the man made a phone call in a foreign language, hung up and then asked about ammunition in bulk. My emphasis added. Appears, I say again.... appears there was no, or inadequate follow-up by the Bureau on the phone call, probably from a cell phone in a fairly identifiable time frame. CCTV from adjacent businesses, word search on the internet? Did LE contact other gun shops or body armor vendors? Very curious. Hat tip to poster Anguper Hupomosing Good job by the store employees to call the FBI; too bad this didn't lead to an arrest before the shooting. |
