1 / 2Mass Shooting in Dayton, OhioDAYTON, OH - AUGUST 6: Metal fabricator Nick Bruno, Kyle Knox, James Bunn, and Jason Phillips hang a metal-fabricated"Dayton Strong" sign on the front of Ned Pepper's Bar at the site where Dayton mass shooting gunman Connor Betts was gunned down by policer in the city's historic Oregon District on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, in Dayton, OH.
FBI officials said the number of tips the centre receives each week fluctuates and not all are actionable. Some tips turn into FBI investigations while others are forwarded to local authorities. The number of FBI tips also does not include the thousands of tips that state and local law enforcement agencies have received since the shootings.
They have included an employee at a Wisconsin distribution centre who called police after a coworker threatened to carry out a workplace shooting and an Alabama resident who alerted authorities after his friend, a Florida trucker, sent him messages about his plans for a shooting at a Memphis church. Mina is no stranger to mass shootings. He was the police chief in Orlando, Florida, the night of June 12, 2016, when a gunman opened fire at the Pulse nightclub, killing 49 and wounding 53.
