The arrest of the former school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has prompted strong reactions from litigators representing those affected by the February 2018 mass shooting that left 17 dead and 17 injured at the Parkland school.

On Tuesday outgoing Broward State Attorney Mike Satz announced Scot Peterson, the former Broward Sheriff’s deputy who served as the school resource officer of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School at the time of the tragedy, had been arrested and indicted on 11 criminal counts.
