The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission examined the February 14th shooting in great detail last week. They examined the school's blueprints and the Broward County Sheriff's Office response to the situation, WLRN reported.
Detective Walter Bonasaro of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office gave a powerpoint presentation to the commission. One of the issues was the unlocked, unattended front gate. The other big concern was having doors with glass slits in the window where a potential shooter can look into a classroom.
Stoneman Douglas teacher Ivy Schamis said she feared Nikolas Cruz would bust through the window and unlock the door.
“I was cowering in the corner waiting for a hand to come right through and all you had to do was reach your hand into that - into that window and open the door," Schamis told the commission members.

A lot of emotions here for certain. From a layman on the outside (not playing Monday morning quarterback ), it appears to be a lack of training with the school and law enforcement. With lack of training and fear combined the results are shown. I will pass on judgement, but agree with the ones that have already resigned and more should come. Just like the sheriff claiming to remain and let the voters make the decision. I sure hope he is defeated and from reading this, the community feels the same way. Proper training is suppose to insure good results. On the other hand there is a charge of cowardliness that should be applied.
