The video shows former deputy Scot Peterson standing outside of the high school. Peterson was criticized for not going into the building during the shooting.
“The video speaks for itself,” the BSO’s Public Information Office said in a statement. “His actions were enough to warrant an internal affairs investigation, as requested by Sheriff Scott Israel on Feb. 21. After being suspended without pay, Peterson chose to resign and immediately retired rather than face possible termination.
“In accordance with Florida law, we are prohibited from discussing any other details of the IA investigation until the case has concluded.”
