Instead, school officer Scot Peterson remained outside the school. According to Peterson, he was confused as to where the gunshots were actually coming from, and he later told responding officers that the gunfire was outside somewhere. But Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel didn’t see it that way, suspending Peterson without pay. Peterson resigned soon after, and now his lawyer is calling the accusations of cowardice “gross oversimplification.” “Let there be no mistake, Mr. Peterson wishes that he could have prevented the untimely passing of the 17 victims on that day, and his heart goes out to the families of the victims in their time of need,” Attorney Joseph DiRuzzo said in a statement. Right now, Social agrees with Israel. It calls Peterson a coward and gives him 79 percent negative sentiments.—Hugo Guzman
