“The Columbine High School massacre was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999″

“Peterson’s resignation and subsequent retirement ends his 30-year career in law enforcement.”

The paradigm that armed people will stop these shootings simply does not comport with reality. A person sneaking into a building with a weapon is going to kill people before eventually being killed, but twenty years ago when armed officers were at the school in Columnbine and did nothing, or all the slow responses since where people died, and now we have a scapegoat for not one officer, but multiple officers not timely engaging a shooter.....maybe we need to consider alternative solutions because with all the so called training there has been failure after failure as children die. There are solutions, but some simple do not want to discuss the same. The simple truth is for 20 years armed LEO or security at schools has NOT stopped killings.

Why? Because its what we are trained to do. Since Columbine, all agencies have to go through active shooter training. You don't wait for backup. Its a mindset. You go in and lay down some lead. So again, there is something wrong with the mentality within this agency. Sorry Sheriff. Your Deputies could of saved lives. You are the scapegoat. You got to go!

He is at the top of the LEO chain in the county. When you have a tragedy like this and your deputies don't act according to active shooter protocol, then heads have to roll, including yours. As a retired cop, I can not fathom standing outside a school while there is an active shooter inside. And apparently, there was more than one deputy? There are some serious problems within that agency. I say that I have to agree with the Sheriffs removal, suspension, resignation, whatever. He is at the top of the LEO chain in the county.

I also believe some blame is to be placed on the deputy/sro who did not go into the building. I will say that you don't know what you will do until faced with a situation...and sadly this deputy failed the most important of tests. People are so quick to jump on the blame wagon, believing everything they read on social media. What happened is a horrible tragedy, perpetrated by a clearly unstable person with pure evil in their heart. Let's please not try and ruin other lives before all facts are known. Continued prayers for all the families that are grieving loss from this event and for law enforcement who also grieve with them.

You can't trust in man when things get rough, but I know i can trust in Jesus.

The public is no longer going to stand by while excuses are being made on why law enforcement officers and their agency heads did not act. Are our local agencies doing everything possible to help avoid a 2-14-18 event in Escambia's schools? This should serve as a liability wake up call for heads of law enforcement agencies.
