TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - As the nation grapples with how to move forward from last week's school shooting in Parkland, Florida, we are learning new details about an armed deputy who was on campus during the shooting, yet failed to act.
For the first time, teachers are returning to Stoneman Douglas high school and First Responders are sharing heartbreaking moments from last week's school shooting.
This, as well as new details from that day, are raising red flags.
When the shooting broke out, an armed student resource officer was on campus, in uniform. The sheriff says the deputy arrived as the shooting was occurring and stood outside for four minutes.
"What I saw was a deputy arrive at the West side of building 12, take up a position and he never went in," the sheriff said.
The president also weighed in Friday morning, bashing the deputy, but also doubling down on his call to arm trained teachers. Saying schools need to have some form of protection and cannot be gun free zones.
