Armed guard at Florida high school failed to enter building and stop shooter
Quote:
The armed deputy who was on campus at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school when a gunman massacred 17 people stood outside the building as it occurred and did not go in to engage the shooter, the Broward County sheriff, Scott Israel, said on Thursday.
Deputy Scott Peterson, who was the school resource officer at Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, Florida, resigned from the department on Thursday after being told he would be suspended, Israel said.

Another great idea hits the dirt.
People who think armed guards are the solution are relying on a man with a pistol winning a shootout with a kid with a semi-automatic rifle and a load of ammunition and possibly other arms.
