I heard hiding out in the parking lot, but that just might be a rumor.
The fire alarm pull sets off all the fire alarms in the entire building, you don’t know which one is pulled until you look at the keypad that gives your the location number or label (if it is done right). The fire alarms would also unlock all the doors to the building as well (if the building is using an access control system with electronic locks), if this is an outside fire alarm pull station, some buildings do have these,it would explain how the shooter got in.
At a retirement-investments seminar.
Not 100% positive, but I believe they are unarmed anyway as they are gun free zones.
I have a good friend who is an SRO. She is responsible to let Admin know where she is at all times, especially if she needs to leave campus for any reason. She also has a designated office in the school. Granted, her campus is much smaller than MSD, but she is asking the same questions.
Excellent point. In one of the early articles it was stated that the SRO was away from the school for a “meeting”..... it certainly defeats the security purpose if the sole armed officer is not present in the school all of the school days.
It does seem that there is something suspicious or reckless about this, and it needs to be fully exposed.
Those are some very good questions. I can’t recall hearing them addressed, have you? And with a campus this large, would it not be likely they’d have more than one?
I’m sure this will come out in depositions when the parents sue the Broward County Sheriff, School Board and its individual members, etc., as I believe they certainly should.
There was ONE armed LEO on the campus at the time but “he never came in contact with the shooter.” That was the last report I heard and that was a week ago.
And we won’t hear any more about it as it will be buried just as so much was buried about the Vegas shooting.
There is one thing and one thing only that politicians, urban police forces, and the Deep State are interested in:
Stripping law-abiding citizens of their rights under the Constitution.
Maybe a sexual identity conference?
I am glad you are asking this. Of course, that aspect is irrelevant to the agenda of those who have been controlling the narrative.
When the lawyers for the deceased students and teachers and other victims (NOT the shooter “victim”) start to ask about this in open court we will be treated to another chapter in how there are all these terrific rules, but “we need to have MORE MONEY AND MORE LAWS to DO THE JOB RIGHT”.
The lack of honesty and transparency in the reporting to date has been absolutely depressing and disgusting.
One person who’s supposed to see to the safety of a huge complex of 3000+ students. It doesn’t matter where he/she was as it is impossible to be everywhere on that campus.
As I understand it, the Security Guard (unarmed), and the athletic director, went to confront the armed attacker .
Both are among the deceased.

Aaron Feis
An assistant football coach and security guard, Aaron Feis used his own body to shield students as gunfire rang out
in the school, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School football team said on social media."
" When the initial calls about the shooting came through the school’s walkie-talkie, Feis, 37, responded to his duties as a security guard, according to the newspaper."
Chris Hixon
" Marjory Stoneman Douglas athletic director Chris Hixon was always willing to lend a helping hand, his colleagues, friends and neighbors say."
"Hixon, 49, was always there. And he was there, in his role on the school’s security force, when the gunman began to shoot.
A Naval Reservist, Hixon was deployed to Iraq in 2007, according to the Sun Sentinel."
Far too often, the police are there simply to clean up after the action. How long were the people being killed inside the Pulse night club before police entered....2 hours?
People who find themselves in this kind of situation are on their own. It's why concealed carry should be taken seriously by everyone who has the opportunity to carry.
Here’s an answer from Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie
I heard that there were five people who were considered to be security officers of some type. I heard that one of them (was also asst FB coach?), took gunfire himself, blocking the shooter’s access to some students (he died). I don’t know about the others. It seems to be a campus with several buildings, so it might not be realistic to expect that a particular school resource officer was in the right building at the right time, etc.
“The only person trained and armed to fight back against an assailant at Stoneman Douglas is its one school resource officer, a Broward Sheriff’s deputy funded by the city of Parkland. But Maxwell said she doesn’t think he was on campus when the shooting happened.
“I have been told by a couple of sources that the SRO was either called off campus responding to something happening or it could have been his day off,” she said. “They are stretched very thin.”
Neither BSO nor school district officials responded to requests for comment Thursday about where the officer was at the time. On Friday, Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said he was told by BSO officials that an officer was at the school but on a different part of campus.”
Google Majorie Stoneman Douglas High School and look at it on the map. It’s a huge campus with a dozen or more buildings. The resource officer could have been anywhere on that campus so the fact that they weren’t there exchanging shot with the killer doesn’t mean the SRO was absent.
