Rep. Keating: Weapon Purchases By Those Once On FBI Watch Lists Should Trigger Alert

The Orlando shooting has raised questions about whether the lessons from the Boston Marathon bombings were learned.

Massachusetts Rep. William Keating, who is a member of the Homeland Security Committee, reviewed security after the marathon bombings. He found some shortcomings — particularly in the communication among law enforcement about bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who the FBI investigated before the bombings but had closed the case on him.

The committee issued a report about a year later and made several recommendations that were designed to improve security.

Keating joined Morning Edition to discuss a briefing he received on Tuesday regarding the Orlando shooting.
