Fla. school officer waited outside building for 4 minutes as killings happened, sheriff says

A Marjory Stoneman Douglas school resource officer has been suspended without pay after Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said video shows him taking up a defensive position during the shooting but never entering the school.
Israel announced Thursday that the decision to suspend Deputy Scot Peterson was made after reviewing video from the shooting and taking statements from witnesses and Peterson himself, Israel said.
“He should have went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer,” Israel said.
Peterson was armed and on campus during the shooting Israel said. Since he met the requirements for retirement, Peterson opted to resign after he was told he was being suspended, Israel said.
Israel said that the video shows Peterson arrived at the west side of Building 12, where most of the killing happened. He then took up a position but “never went in.”
The video shows that Peterson remained outside the building for upward of four minutes during the shooting, which lasted about six minutes, Israel said. Aside from getting “on his radio,” Peterson did “nothing” while standing outside the building, Israel said.
When the shooting started, Peterson was in an office dealing with a “school-related issue,” Israel said.
When asked by reporters to describe how the video made him feel, Israel responded, “Sick to my stomach” and “devastated.”
“It doesn’t matter who went in first, it doesn’t matter in what order you went in,” he said. “What matters is that when we in law enforcement arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target and that’s what should have been done.”
Peterson was named school resource officer of the year in the city of Parkland in 2014, after he had been with the school for five years, records show. According to a booklet announcing the award, Peterson had been “proven to be reliable in handling issues with tact and judgment” and was active in mentoring and counseling students that year.
Peterson was also nominated for Parkland deputy of the year in 2017, an internal memo from the sheriff’s office dated March 27, 2017, shows.
Two other deputies were placed on restricted duty while the sheriff’s office investigates whether they “could’ve” or “should’ve” done more while dealing with suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, amid the 23 calls they received involving Cruz or his brother since 2008, Israel said.
Of those calls, investigators feel that two cases “deserve extra scrutiny” to see if there was a policy violation by the deputies involved.
Cruz was arrested shortly after the shooting and is charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. He is being held in a Broward County jail.
On Wednesday, Israel announced that Broward County sheriff’s deputies would now be carrying AR-15 rifles on school grounds within the district, adding that one of the ways to make schools safer is to evaluate the number of school resource officers on campuses.

1. What are the differences between the incoming storm system and the one from Monday and Tuesday?
There will be less precipitation, but air and pavement temperatures will be much colder. It is also occurring mostly at night. So, these three factors create a greater likelihood for slick roads. In the system from Monday and Tuesday, we saw the precipitation switch back and forth between freezing rain (liquid water freezing on contact with the surface) and sleet (frozen raindrops that bounce off surfaces). This system will be more orderly as the precipitation will likely start as sleet with some snow mixed in and then change to freezing rain. Once it changes to freezing rain it will stay freezing rain.
2. When will the roads get slick?
The precipitation arrives in Kansas City from the south between 10 p.m. and midnight. So, the roads will get slick just minutes after the onset of the freezing rain and sleet. Treated roads may hold a bit longer, but anything untreated becomes a mess very fast with temperatures in the mid 20s. If you live south of Kansas City, then the precipitation will begin between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
3. Will there be school closings?
If the forecast pans out and confidence is high, then, yes there will likely be many if not all schools closed.
4. Will there be power outages?
There may be sporadic power outages, but keep in mind, it takes a minimum 1/2″ of freezing rain glazed on power lines to begin the widespread power outage process. We are expecting 1/10″ to 1/4″ of ice and some of this will be sleet, which does not stick to power lines. Also, there will be very little wind during the event and this helps reduce power outages.
5. Will it still be slick for the Thursday morning rush hour?
Yes, even treated roads may be slick as the freezing rain and sleet will last until 10 to 11 a.m.
6. Will road conditions improve for the Thursday evening rush hour?
Yes, they should as temperatures rise to around 32 degrees. We expect there to be drizzle and rain showers at that time. If temperatures don’t rise to 32 degrees and above, then slick spots are more likely, especially on bridges and overpasses.
7. Will Friday still be icy?
As it stands now, we expect temperatures to drift up to just above freezing, so any ice should start to melt and this will limit school closings as well. If the temperatures stay below 32 degrees until Friday afternoon, then it could be a different story.
8. I hear there is another storm system for Friday night and Saturday, more ice?
There are strong indications we will be on the warm side of this storm and highs may climb to the 50s Saturday. So, right now it looks like all rain.
9. When does the weather calm down?
We will get a break from Sunday into early next week, but the active pattern looks likely to continue into the first two weeks of March.
