The school had 1 SRO to cover a 45 acre campus with more than 3000 students. The building where the shooting happened is a 3 story building.
There is no way one person could secure that school. The coach who was killed was also a “security” guard. He was not armed. He died shielding children with his own body.
No serious person could have claimed this school had adequate security even before the shooting.
This Broward Sheriff is a disaster, and folks are going WAY too easy on him. He should instead be facing resignation demands. Even Dana Loesch mostly gave him a pass last night.
Maybe hiding out with the county cops that visited the perp 39 times BEFORE the event.
If 20% of the teachers had been armed this never would have happened in the first place.
At a Thursday press briefing Sheriff Israel stated that there was an armed security officer on the school campus at the time of the massacre, but he (or she) never encountered the shooter.
There certainly should be an in depth investigation to determine why this armed officer never encountered the killer.
Megan, the gym teacher was also the security monitor for the school, he was killed in the attack, he was unarmed because the school district wouldn’t let him carry his weapon.
My guess: cowering behind a ‘safe room door’ being guarded by a heroic JROTC cadet.
