Reminder: JW released Broward County Sheriff’s Office training & operation materials specifically dictating the first officer on scene at an active shooter incident “will immediately go to confront the shooter” – which they failed to do in Parkland. (1/10)

Broward County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the armed school resource officer Deputy Scot Peterson was first on the scene of the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, but he didn’t enter the school to confront shooter Nikolas Cruz. (2/10)

Three more deputies arrived on scene but didn’t immediately enter. Broward County materials direct that if four officers are on scene at an active shooter incident they are to form a “Quad” formation & enter the building – which they failed to do. (3/10)

Using lessons learned from Columbine (the 1999 high school massacre where officers waited for SWAT & allowed two shooters to continue) the first four responding officers are directed to form a “Quad” & approach from all directions – but they didn't. (4/10)

The lesson plan says to immediately confront a shooter: “History shows when a suspect is confronted by any armed individual... they either shoot it out with that person or kill themselves. Either way, the shooting of innocent bystanders must stop.” (5/10)

The lesson plan says: “If you are on scene & hear gunshots, you should immediately access what you have & prepare to respond. Remember, every time you hear a gunshot in an active shooter incident, you have to believe another victim is being killed.” (6/10)

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: “Lives were lost in Parkland because the Sheriff’s Office personnel were either poorly trained or failed to follow training protocols.” (10/10)
