TUCSON, Ariz. — The surviving victim of a 2009 Arivaca home invasion that
left a young girl and her father dead said the FBI should have prevented their deaths.

The Arizona Daily Star reported Friday that Gina
Gonzalez claims in a lawsuit FBI agents were warned about the shooting.

Gonzalez said convicted shooter Shawna Forde asked an FBI informant in Colorado
to help in the attack.

According to Gonzalez, Forde even drew a map of the site.

She claims the informant shared the map with his handler, who passed it on to
the FBI office in Phoenix, where it got lost.

An FBI spokeswoman said the agency does not comment on pending litigation.

Gonzalez lost her husband and 9-year-old daughter when three people pretending
to be Border Patrol agents shot and killed them.
