BREAKING: Florida deputy charged after staying outside school shooting
1 / 2FILE - In this Feb. 18, 2015, file frame from video from Broward County Public Schools, school resource officer Scot Peterson talks during a school board meeting of Broward County, Fla. Peterson, a longtime Broward sheriff's deputy assigned to school, retired shortly after the shooting after security video showed he drew his gun but did not enter the three-story freshman building where the killings took place, instead taking cover nearby and not moving for about 50 minutes.
Peterson, then a Broward deputy, was on duty as the school resource officer during the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School but never went inside while bullets were flying. Seventeen people died and 17 others were wounded in the attack. Peterson lawyer Joseph DiRuzzo III didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In the past, he has defended Peterson's conduct as justified under the circumstances.
