On the third day of former Broward County deputy Scot Peterson’s trial for failing to confront the shooter who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High during the 2018 Parkland shooting, Coral Springs officer Richard Best testified that Peterson told him outside the classroom building that the shooter was upstairs. Peterson, who has maintained that he couldn’t tell where the gunshots were coming from, arrived at the building with his gun drawn 73 seconds before the shooter reached the third floor. Peterson could face nearly a century in prison if convicted. The trial is expected to last up to two months. Peterson is the first U.S. law enforcement officer ever charged for an alleged failure to act during a school shooting.
