They don’t call Broward County Coward County for nothing. Turns out Scott Israel’s little deputy, Scot Peterson not only didn’t enter the school when the first shots were fired, Peterson actually hid, like a coward behind a staircase during the shooting and pointed his gun at nothing. That’s how they do things in Coward County, Florida.

Senior Brandon Huff rushed to the building where the shooting was taking place when he found out his girlfriend was inside.
She texted me, ‘There is a shooter in the room. I love you,’ so I freaked out. I dropped everything in my hands,” Huff said. […]
“The school resource officer was behind a stairwell wall, just standing there, and he had his gun drawn, and he was just pointing it at the building,” Huff said. “Shots started going off inside, and you could hear them going off over and over again.” […]
“He was pointing his gun at nothing. He was pointing his gun just at the building with kids in it, and he was just talking on the radio, and he never did anything for four minutes,” Huff said. […]
“He’s the only one with a gun,” Huff said. “He’s wearing a bullet proof vest, he has all that while school security guards, coaches were running in shielding kids — Coach Feis, Hixon were running in, shielding kids from bullets and losing their lives while he did nothing.”
