The school resource deputy who was on patrol at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14 resigned Thursday after video surveillance showed he never entered the school, even though he "clearly" knew there was a shooting taking place, officials said.
Deputy Scott Peterson, of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, was stationed on the school’s campus when Nikolas Cruz opened fire with an AR-15 rifle, leaving 17 people dead and others wounded.
Sheriff Scott Israel during a press conference Thursday said video showed Peterson arriving at the west side of the building where the shooting took place. Peterson, Israel said, took up a position but "never went in."
The sheriff said he believes Peterson remained outside of the building for roughly four minutes, while the shooting in total lasted around six minutes. Israel said the officer never fired his weapon.
The sheriff said that he suspended Peterson without pay pending an internal investigation, but the officer resigned and retired.
Deputy assigned to Florida school 'never went in' during shooting, sheriff says
So that answers the question so many liberals have been asking about the security guard. It was first reported that he was not armed, and now we learn he was armed and didn't have the guts to confront the killer which could have saved all those lives--even if it meant his own in exchange.
