. . . "Deputies from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office are guarding the home of the school resource officer who was stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after his family requested the protection, according to multiple news reports on Thursday.
"Local Fox affiliate WSVN said it sent a reporter to the Boynton Beach, Florida, home of Broward County Sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson for an interview when the reporter was met with six deputies "standing guard outside."
"Peterson's family is believed to have asked for the protection, according to NBC affiliate WPTV reporter Andrew Lofholm.
"Peterson resigned from his post at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School following the shooting at the campus in which 17 people died. He was later criticized after an internal investigation found he never entered the building where the shooting occurred.
" 'I am devastated," Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference. "Sick to my stomach. He never went in."
"Peterson, who was armed and in uniform at the time, reportedly did "nothing" and remained outside of the building for at least four minutes during the incident, according to Israel." . . . Hat tip: Weasel Zip.
“Parkland deputy "believed he did a good job calling in the location, setting up the perimeter and calling in the description [of the suspect],” . . .“ 'We have to act, even if that means risking our lives to save many many more lives. I would demand that from our union members,” the union official told the Post." . . .
I'm sure pictures and info on this deputy can be found, but I want to be no part of a lynch mob along the lines of CNN's by posting them.
