Was he on the other side of the 45-acre campus, or was he just screwing off, or did he freeze and go the other way?

Hopefully, we will find out.

Sheriff should have arrested him on one of the 39 visits to the kid’s house. That’s where the blame should fall.

Ah baloney. Shades of the Las Vegas “shooter”. Another stupid cover-up to cover the blue.

He was standing outside the building where the shooting was happening and there is reportedly video of this.

The system fails keep piling up, but guns are evil.

How can the same idiot be visiting the POS 39 times? Surely others did the same.

The armed SRO declined to go into the building where the shooting was occurring. According to reports, they have video of him standing outside.

Oh. I did read the article... it wasn't in there. I wish it had been mentioned.

Thanx.

Yes we don’t need no stinking guns as the police and GVT will protect us.

Was he armed or unarmed? If he was unarmed, what was he supposed to kill him with, a pencil?

The school is huge. He probably couldn’t find Cruz in time to save anyone. Remember, Cruz sneaked out with the rest of the students exiting.
