According to reports, what happened is the armed deputy stood outside behind cover for about 4 minutes while fire alarms blared, rounds going off, people running, people dying, while he talked on the phone or radio, allegedly setting up a perimeter which also didn’t stop the suspect.
I understand that. I was addressing how a perimeter is set up. It doesn’t mean this deputy did it at all, did it right, or there weren’t other failures.
Again, I was simply addressing how perimeters are set up (in response to a FReeper who laughed at the idea that 1 deputy could set up a perimeter).
