The former deputy who didn’t enter a Florida high school during the mass shooting on Feb. 14 appeared to be aware that shots were being fired from inside the building, despite stating he thought they originated outside.

Police radio dispatches, released by the Broward County Sheriff’s Department on March 8, show that former Deputy Scot Peterson radioed that gunfire was coming from “inside” during the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Miami Herald reported.
