On February 14,2018 Nikolas Cruz opened fire at his previous high school Marjory Douglas High School. Nikolas attended this high school only a year prior. While Cruz opened fire on the school the school officer, Scot Peterson, stood by and did nothing. Peterson who had more than thirty years of experience stood outside and did nothing while seventeen people died. I recieved this information from the article i have linked below. While talking about this shooting in my Criminalistics class which is taught my Professor Sherwin, who also has much experience as he worked for the Chicago Police Department before he began teaching. Sherwin said that he would have went into the building without hesitation. Sherwin said that he has much more experience than a nineteen-year-old and that by not going into the building Peterson allowed more people to die than should have if he would have went inside. I agree with the statements that Sherwin makes because if Peterson would have gone into the school less people could have been injured or killed.
