Heck...just everybody knows that the absolutely, safest place to be in a
shooting is where the shooter is not - and that is exactly where this armed
deputy was!
What's the beef?

The armed deputy who was on campus at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school
when a gunman massacred 17 people stood outside the building as it occurred
and did not go in to engage the shooter, the Broward County sheriff, Scott
Israel, said on Thursday.
Deputy Scott Peterson, who was the school resource officer at Stoneman
Douglas in Parkland, Florida, resigned from the department on Thursday after
being told he would be suspended, Israel said.
He did not say if Peterson would face criminal charges.
Israel said he made the decision after reviewing video surveillance and
interviewing witnesses, including the deputy himself. The sheriff says
Peterson responded to the building where the shooting took place, took up a
position outside a door and never went in.
When asked what Peterson should have done, Israel said the deputy should
have “went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer”.
The sheriff said he was “devastated, sick to my stomach. There are no
words.”
