A Mississippi man notified the FBI in September that a user named Nikolas Cruz left a comment on his YouTube channel saying, “I’m going to be a professional school shooter.”

Ben Bennight, 36, reported the comment to the FBI via email on Sept. 24 and flagged it on YouTube, which removed the comment.
