Video released Thursday from Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida shows a sheriff's deputy remaining outside as a gunman murdered 17 students and staff inside.
A Broward County sheriff's deputy, Scot Peterson, resigned in disgrace roughly a week after the shooting after an investigation found he waited outside the school and made no attempt to confront the gunman, though his lawyer disputed accusations that Peterson failed to follow protocol or acted cowardly.
Phil Keating reported the details on "Outnumbered Overtime" Thursday.
Peterson, DiRuzzo said, had the "presence of mind" to have school administrators go to the school's video room and review the closed-circuit cameras to locate the shooter and then obtain a description for law enforcement.
Several media organizations sued the BSO and Broward County Public Schools for the release of the video recordings from the exterior of the Parkland school.
But a detailed timeline released last week by the sheriff's office, based on radio dispatches and surveillance footage, showed Peterson said over police radio that the blasts were coming from "inside". "His (Peterson's) actions were enough to warrant an internal affairs investigation, as requested by Sheriff Scott Israel on February 21", the Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "After being suspended without pay, Peterson chose to resign and immediately retired rather than face possible termination".

Since, before Aadhaar scheme there wasn't any stature which allowed UIDAI to gather data from the public. In his argument, Santosh said that the Aadhaar scheme is like an "undeclared emergency".
Attorneys for the school board argued that the release of the video could compromise the school's security system, but Levenson ruled that "the potential harm to the current security system, at best, is outweighed by the strong public interest in disclosure".
After speaking into his radio, Mr Peterson can be seen making his way to the building where students were being murdered in a golf cart.
Cruz is accused of carrying out the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that also wounded 17 other people.
Peterson stays across from building 12, which is out of view, just to the left of the pavement.
Earlier this week a judge authorized the video's release. The footage above focuses mostly on Peterson.
Sheriff Israel castigated Peterson a little more than a week after the shooting, saying he should have "went in, addressed the killer, killed the killer".
In the letter, Peterson claims that he received an emergency "call of firecrackers", not gunfire, and responded by running hundreds of yards where he "heard gunshots but believed that those gunshots were originating from outside of any of the buildings on the school campus".
