(CNN) Nearly a week after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, a top FBI official acknowledged that proper protocols weren't followed on the tip about Nikolas Cruz, the confessed shooter. "There was a mistake made, we know that," acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich told reporters at a news conference Thursday. When asked about the missed tip, Bowdich said that he expects to be further briefed on it "very soon." He personally went to the West Virginia call center that houses the tip line and "it's professional operation." "Processes were in place, it's just they were not followed," Bowdich said, noting that the FBI received roughly 765,000 calls last year and most do not turn into leads.
