- The Broward Sheriff’s office on Thursday released internal radio dispatches that reveal how deputies responded to last month’s high-school shooting in Florida.
- The timeline is especially damning for the armed school resource officer, who never confronted the gunman.
- Instead, the deputy remained outside the building and even directed other officers to stay 500 feet away from the scene.
- The dispatches show that 11 minutes passed after the gunfire broke out before officers from a neighboring police department entered the school.
The armed school resource officer who failed to confront the Florida high-school shooter last month also warned other first responders to stay away from the scene as the massacre was unfolding, internal radio dispatches show.
The deputy, Scot Peterson, resigned roughly a week after the shooting, after an investigation by the Broward Sheriff’s Office revealed he did “nothing” to stop the gunman and stayed outside the building for several minutes instead.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
