He saw a person who was not allowed at the school.
Who was not allowed to carry a backpack when he was allowed at the school.
Wearing a backpack and carrying a large duffel bag walking "purposefully toward the school".
And his response is to.... call a friend? Okay, co-worker but did it ever occur to him to maybe detain Cruz right there?
Well at least it explains something that has bothered me for over a week.
The Deputy said he had, "called in a description of the shooter".
I could not figure out how that had happened as he also stated that he, "never encountered the shooter."
He did "encounter" him. And in time to stop him. He just didn't.
Make of that what you will.
The report said that a “monitor” reported all of this, so maybe it was an unarmed student volunteer monitor. It must not be the Deputy Sheriff assigned to the school. Because wasn’t the Deputy “elsewhere”?
It’s a mystery.
“He did “encounter” him. And in time to stop him. He just didn’t.
Make of that what you will. “
I make it that you are going on an incorrect basis.
