The school plans to restart classes on Wednesday, following a Sunday orientation for both students and teachers to resume schooling.
President Trump said Friday the Florida sheriff’s deputy who failed to stop last week’s mass shooting at a high school was a either a “coward” or froze under extreme pressure.
Since 2008, he said, the sheriff’s office was involved in 23 calls involving either Cruz or his brother.
Walk-outs are the latest in a student-led movement that began after the school shooting on February 14.
He added the deputy “clearly” knew a shooter was inside the building, but stayed outside for four minutes while the killing continued. Runcie said about learning school officer Scot Peterson refused to go inside the building when Nikolas Cruz fired on students and staff. He later chose to resign from the department. A former student is in custody on 17 counts of murder. He owned a collection of weapons. He opened fire and shot dead 17 of his fellow students and teachers.
In a major departure from Scott’s plan, Republican legislative leaders said they will impose a three-day waiting period for all gun purchases in the state. The information was forwarded to Peterson.
Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation received a tip in early January regarding regarding “Cruz’s gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting”.
“We are also increasing funding in the Safe Schools Allocation to address specific school safety needs within each school district”.
“It was really devastating, because I knew people that passed away – friends – so it breaks my heart”, one student said.
The FBI is dealing with its handling of complaints made against Cruz.
“Arming teachers presents another danger for law enforcement who are responding to a shooting situation”, Doyle said.
The governor did not agree with President Trump’s proposal to arm teachers with firearms as a deterrent and form of protection. “We need to get these assault rifles off our streets and expand criminal background checks for anyone acquiring a gun”.
The suite of proposals most notably does not include arming schoolteachers, an idea that President Donald Trump and other Florida Republican lawmakers have proposed in the wake of last week’s gun massacre in Parkland. If you’re 18 or older, you can also buy as many guns as you want at one time, which is exactly what the Stoneman Douglas shooter did. He said the program would be optional and the deputized person would have to be trained by local law-enforcement agencies.
But Scott said he would be working with state legislators to change that.
