Disgraced Parkland deputy heard shots inside school building, told cops to stay away

Roundly vilified for not entering a Parkland high school during a mass shooting, Broward Deputy Scot Peterson insisted publicly that he believed that gunfire was happening outside on campus — not from inside the building.

But internal radio dispatches released by the sheriff's office Thursday show Peterson immediately fixated on Building 12 and even radioed that gunfire was happening “inside.”

And, just as school shooter Nikolas Cruz was fleeing the building after killing 17 people, Peterson warned his fellow officers to stay away — even as wounded students and staff lay inside . . .

“Do not approach the 12 or 1300 building, stay at least 500 feet away,” Peterson said over the radio, according to the records released Thursday.

I watched a shootout in Tulsa many years ago. I’ve spent a fair amount of time on the range.

I can confirm it sounds like a cap gun going off in the open air.

I was 25-100 feet away from the (various) actions.

Given that the Sheriff is a muslim and a Democrat, you might not be too far off.

AND he hand-picked some of his staff, it appears. Don’t know if he hand-picked this guy or not.

Brave Sir Robin ran away
(No!)
Bravely ran away away
(I didn’t!)
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
(No!)
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
(I didn’t!)
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
(I never did!)
He beat a very brave retreat
(All lies!)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
(I never!)

I guess that’s why people now think it is fireworks rather than a car backfiring. Still, a professional should know the difference.

Of course it sounds like firecrackers! I didn’t deny that. What I said is that you are also told by professionals that it is not what you think it is. That this deputy could fall for it is amazing and horrifying.

No, I’m just confirming basically what you said.

Believe it or not, I am REALLY not one for conspiracies. This... something is really, really not right about this whole situation.

1. Don’t hear much about Cruz.
2. Someone removed David Hogg from center stage. I for one am grateful.
3. Gun grabbers can’t even agree.
4. Law Enforcement pulls out one b/s excuse after another. I’m waiting for BSO to blame the Russians.

I would have to respectfully disagree with you on this. I shoot 5.56. It’s very loud. It definitely does not sound like a cap gun.

It does not pass the smell test.

“The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has identified to Fox News the captain who, according to sources, directed responding deputies and units to “stage” or form a “perimeter” outside Stoneman Douglas High School, instead of rushing immediately into the building, as the mass shooting unfolded there.”

I’m basically talking 9mm — my .223 was not too loud.

At least I’m guessing they were shooting 9mm - .45. I was crossing a parking lot when it started. Eventually, I look up and one of the guys is about 25 feet away from me shooting from behind a vehicle at another guy (from his blind side). I believe that guy would up on the payment with a couple in him - he was still alive when the first responders showed up.

Now, I have not shot my 5.56 yet — I don’t want to get my rifle dirty, LOL.

(plus ammo is too expensive for me these days)
