An ex-school resource officer accused of failing to confront a shooter who killed 17 people at Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 was acquitted Thursday of child neglect and negligence.
Scot Peterson, a 60-year-old now-fired Broward County sheriff's deputy, was armed with a handgun when he arrived on the scene of the Valentine's Day mass shooting. Prosecutors argued he took cover instead of confronting the gunman and "chose to run," putting his own life first. His defense team said Peterson was being scapegoated, and in the chaos of the shooting, he couldn't have known where shots were coming from.
