Some updates on the Parkland FL shooting: Broward County Sheriff's Office released an "animated" timeline of the shooter's route through Building 12.
Animated, in this case, doesn't mean cartoonish, just so we're clear about that. Included in the video is a running clock, showing how long the
shooter spent on each floor of the building in addition to his route. The video was presented at a meeting of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public
Safety Commission, which is an investigative body created after the shooting and tasked with analyzing the events that lead up to and during the
shooting and making recommendations to the state. My understanding is that the commission has been given subpoena power.
Other updates: many of us are aware that exterior surveillance footage of the building had been released. Many of us, including myself, expressed
dismay that the video as it was released made it difficult to tell where Scott Peterson was in relation to Building 12. It now appears that, at least
according to "experts" (in quotes because I don't know who the guy interviewed is, so I don't know his bona fides) asked to look at the video that
Peterson was not only directly outside Building 12, but appears to have identified that the shooting was coming from the upper floors of the building
when he arrived. Peterson claims that he thought the shooting was coming from outside, but video clearly shows Peterson looking up and pointing to the
upper floors of Building 12.

Surveillance video analyzed by FoxNews experts:
Same video also discusses the training and policies at BSO.
This article illustrates some
of the chaos during the response to the shooting. At least one officer went to an entirely different location in the area due to poor radio
directions. Other officers weren't checking in on scene because they couldn't broadcast due to heavy radio traffic.
Finally, this article discusses what the commission has done so far and what
they plan to do in the future. Of particular note already is that teachers were unable to lock their doors from inside the classroom. In order to
successfully lockdown their classrooms, the teachers had to open the doors as shooting was ongoing and use a key to lock the doors from the
outside.
Hadn't seen much about the incident lately, so I figured I'd throw a bunch of updates into one thread for the board.

I don't mean to be indelicate but one well placed shot could have ended this. It's not very PC but I am sure they have an AED in the school, how about
a weapon in a case in the office. In case of mass murder break glass. It beats the hell out of waiting on the cops.
From inside the school? Not that I know of. The commission has multiple body camera feeds they’re looking at, but I haven’t heard any mention of
interior surveillance.
I’d wager the only way that will get released is through a leak.
I meant I hadn’t heard of any being released. You are correct, though. There are cameras inside, and there was something like twenty minutes of
delay I think.
