The big news today is the school shooting last week…but this time it is not the gun debate that is making the news but rather the action of some of the law enforcement dudes that showed up at the school….

The school resource officer said to have waited outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the Feb. 14 shooting that left 17 dead may not have been alone. The Sun-Sentinel reports Coral Springs police officers say several deputies from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office also waited outside the school in Parkland, Florida, during the shooting instead of going inside to confront the shooter or help injured students and teachers. Police sources tell CNN that officers arrived at the school to find three deputies with their guns drawn standing behind their vehicles. The officers then entered the school on the direction of the deputies. Sources say the officers were upset the deputies already on the scene didn’t follow them inside.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel says the allegations from three officers were brought to him by the Coral Springs police chief. “If we find out, as we did with Peterson, that our deputies made mistakes and didn’t go in, I’ll handle it like I always have,” he tells the Sun-Sentinel. Israel suspended school resource officer Scot Peterson, who then retired, earlier this week. The sheriff’s office says it will interview the officers who complained about the deputies’ actions, and officials are reviewing footage to corroborate the allegations. Skip Campbell, the mayor of Coral Springs, says if the allegations are true, “it not only makes me angry, it makes me furious.”

If this report is accurate then there is a special place in Hell for those that did not enter and confront the shooter….they could have saved lives…now they will have to live with the shame.

I must say TTFN and that I shall return tomorrow with more stuff……chuq
