Armed Florida School Cop 'Never Went In' During Shooting Rampage: Sheriff

The armed deputy assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School "never went in" as a gunman mowed down people inside a student building, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel announced Thursday.

Deputy Scot Peterson, assigned to the campus since 2009, should have gone inside, "addressed the killer, killed the killer," Israel said. Instead, surveillance footage showed him arrive at the building, "take up a position and he never went in," the sheriff said.

Peterson stood outside, doing nothing, for more than four minutes Israel said, as accused shooter Nikolas Cruz, 19, allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. Fourteen students and three faculty members were killed.

"There are no words," the sheriff said. "I mean these families lost their children. We lost coaches."
