'He never went in': Armed officer did not confront Florida school gunman

 An armed officer who was on duty at the Florida high school where 17 people were killed failed to confront the gunman during the attack, a local sheriff has said.

Scott Peterson was the armed sheriff's deputy assigned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and the only law enforcement officer present during the six-minute rampage last Wednesday, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said.
Mr Peterson's actions were caught on video during the massacre, and he has now resigned after being suspended without pay and placed under investigation.

The massacre on Valentine's Day was the second-deadliest shooting ever at a US school.

Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old former student, was later arrested and charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

According to the sheriff, Mr Peterson took up a position viewing one of the entrances to the school for more than four minutes after the shooting started, but he "never went in".
