The former Florida deputy who failed to confront a gunman during last year’s Parkland school massacre was arrested on 11 criminal charges related to his actions, prosecutors announced.
56-year-old Scot Peterson faces child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury charges that carry a combined potential prison sentence of nearly 100 years.
Peterson, then a Broward deputy, was on duty as the school resource officer during the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and hid outside and “refused to investigate the source of gunshots, retreated during the active shooting while victims were being shot and directed other law enforcement who arrived on scene to remain 500 feet away from the building.” Seventeen people died and 17 others were wounded in the attack.
