The FBI has asked Apple to help unlock two iPhones used by a gunman responsible for a mass shooting in Florida. Investigators have sent a letter to Apple’s general counsel to seek help in unlocking the password-protected iPhones.

The letter was sent on Monday to Apple’s General Counsel, by FBI General Counsel Dana Boente. It stated that the FBI has court permission to search the contents of both iPhones but they are password protected. FBI has also reached out to other federal agencies and experts from around the world, including third-party vendors who claim to have solutions to unlocking iPhones. Those attempts seem to have been unsuccessful which is why the FBI has reached out to Apple for support. One of the iPhones was also damaged due to a gun shot, which has made the investigation even more difficult.
