WATCH: Surveillance Video Allegedly Shows Broward Deputy Fail to Enter Parkland School, Confront Shooter

According to CNN, a judge ordered the Broward County Sheriff's office must release the video. The clips do not show the carnage inside Building 12, but depict police response on campus outside.

Sheriff Scott Israel said last month that officer Scot Peterson stood outside the building and did "nothing" while a shooter opened fire on students and teachers. It shows him and two staff members rushing in a cart toward the three-story freshman building where the shootings happened.

Security video shows a Florida sheriff's deputy going toward the high school building while a gunman massacred 17 students and staff members, but he then backed away and stayed outside with his handgun drawn.

Nearly all of the footage shows dark figures occasionally moving outside the school's Building 12, often while obscured by shadows. Peterson and Greenleaf can be seen waving, then the school officer assumes a position that is partially obstructed by a pole.

The footage apparently shows Peterson remaining in that area for the next 20-plus minutes of the clip.

In the video, people whose images are blurred run out of a building. He said the question is why he didn't: was it because of Peterson's individual character or something about the culture in the Broward Sheriff's Office that made him avoid a deadly force situation? Officers from the Coral Springs Police Department, the first to arrive on the scene, pushed into the building anyway. 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". It was not immediately clear if other camera angles were available.

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".

The sheriff's office released a brief statement along with the surveillance footage.

The deputy failed to confront the gunman during the six-minute rampage, the video time stamps show, confirming the account of other law enforcement officers who raised questions about the response by the sheriff's office nearly immediately after the shooting. "The video speaks for itself".

"His actions were enough to warrant an internal affairs investigation, as requested by Sheriff Scott Israel on February 21", the statement continues. "After being suspended without pay, Peterson chose to resign and immediately retired rather than face possible termination".
