PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — Two additional deputies have been fired as a result of an internal affairs investigation into the agency’s response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that killed 17 people, the Broward County sheriff said Wednesday.

At a brief news conference, Sheriff Gregory Tony said deputies Edward Eason and Josh Stambaugh were fired Tuesday for their inaction following the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting. He did not provide details but said a lengthy report would be released later.

“In essence, it was neglect of duty. We lost 17 people,” Tony said.

Two other deputies were fired earlier this month for neglect of duty. One of those was school resource officer Scot Peterson, who was also arrested on charges of child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury. Peterson’s lawyer has said he will fight the charges.

The sheriff said no action was taken on three other deputies who were involved in the investigation.

So Sheriff Israel and now a total four deputies have all been term'd (if I'm reading this correctly). Petersen is the only one charged.

The "neglect of duty" wasn't because "we lost 17 people," that is a horrible outcome but you just hang that on the responders, it was due to specific actions that I'm sure would outrage the country if we knew the full details. And those details were hidden while gun control legislation was passed. This is how Florida got ERPO (red flag) which inspired the same "law" here.
