Did God Allow The Parkland, Fla. Shooting?

We live in what strikes me as a particularly perilous time, here in America.  At the same time, I recognize that what I'm about to say may seem a bit callous, and cruelly irreverent concerning the tragic shooting of seventeen students at the high school, in Parkland, Fla.  I don't mean to trivialize the horror of their innocent slaughter in any way, but I wonder if God allowed this to happen, in order to wake us up to the potential threat we are facing, as a whole nation.

In the wake of this tragedy, we have heard unrelenting charges of the F.B.I.'s lack of response to very detailed warnings about the shooter.  There were warnings about his social media boasting about wanting to commit a shooting at a school, precisely as the one he eventually did.  Also there were warnings about his boasting of the guns he had been able to purchase.  Yet the F.B.I. is accused of turning a deaf ear to these tips, for one reason or another, rather than making even a cursory investigation, which may have prevented the shooting from happening.  If this is all true, it represents a level of incompetence on a mind-blowing scale, that I find difficult to believe about the F.B.I., based on the stellar reputation they have built over the years.  This kind of criminal activity should be initially handled by the mid-level F.B.I. agents, who have contributed to the very reputation I just referred to.  These are not the Obama administration appointees, and their like, who have been bogging down the entire criminal justice system with an apparently bogus investigation into supposed Russian collusion with the Trump election campaign, based upon the charges made by a dossier that was commissioned by the Clinton campaign (for $12 million), which relied heavily upon lies, by Russian spies, which in turn was never challenged by any F.B.I. investigation!  Do we see a pattern here?  The F.B.I. relying upon a document that is full of lies, and using it to base it's investigation into a bogus political witch hunt, while perhaps squelching any investigation into the shooter of 17 students after credible warnings had been received!  I'm not saying the appointees did squelch it, but that seems more likely than that the veteran agents below them would have discounted the tips, unless ordered to do so, by their superiors.

Is this God's way of answering prayers for the deliverance of our F.B.I. from the blatant politicization that the Obama Administration created, and left us with an uncharacteristic level of incompetence???  It is of course a pity that innocent lives would necessarily be lost, in order to draw attention to the corruption of one of the most important agencies of the federal government.  But, perhaps an internal investigation will be able to lay blame on whomever is responsible for this kind of dereliction, which may facilitate a necessary house-cleaning, primarily at the top!
