    Despite being armed, in uniform and at the school, the ex-school deputy never went inside throughout the shooting.https://usat.ly/2ELL5Xm

        #1) Why did FBI not investigate #2) Why was secuity video on 20 minute delay #3) Why did responder radios not work on a mutual channel (upgraded since 911) #4) Why 1st onsite RO & 3 sheriffs didn't go after Shooter during shooting. Then go public blaming NRA & 2A - agenda?

        Of course he should go in try to stop the shooter. Standing around outside while unarmed students & teachers inside are praying for just that kind of rescue should be criminal in itself. Haven't we had enough STUPIDITY in this country?

        It was a troubled teen with a gun, not exactly a trained killer.

        The VA shooter killed 32 people with two handguns. That boy was no trained killer, just a sick teenager with a gun.

        The officer will have to live with the decision of not engaging the shooter. He would not have been able to withstand that type of firepower the shooter had. Don’t misplace blame. Many wouldn’t have engaged.

        Lesson from Columbibe: engage the shooter as soon as possible, you don't need win the gun battle you just need to avert his attention.

        He signed up to protect & serve the community. He had more than what those inside had. As an officer of the law there is no excuse for his sorry behavior! Those teachers who put their lives on the line had no weapons either but at least they did something.

        You missed @CNNPolitics updates that 4 deputies present and failed... not just one... ask for the video to be released.

        Someone should ask the sheriff what his general order for an active shooter response is... my bet is many would be shocked.

        Teachers, coaches and students jump in front of bullets to protect students... to bad the teachers and coaches didn’t have something to shoot back with since they were willing to stand in front of bullets defenseless...
