[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3086263, member: 13624"] I may have spoken too quickly. After my post, I read this (from [I]WaPo[/I], of all places): [INDENT][Deputy] Peterson is mentioned as part of a [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/florida-social-services-investigated-before-rampage-knew-teen-wanted-to-buy-gun/2018/02/17/ea0c6bec-143f-11e8-9570-29c9830535e5_story.html?utm_term=.4067a7f466db']2016 social services agency investigation[/URL] into Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old identified by police as the gunman. According to a Florida Department of Children and Families report detailing that investigation, Peterson was approached by investigators and “refused to share any information … regarding [an] incident that took place with” the teenager. That same year, the sheriff’s office revealed Thursday, it was told about “third hand information” from a “neighbor’s son” suggesting that Cruz “planned to shoot up the school,” although the specific school was not listed. The sheriff’s office said a deputy contacted the caller, determined that Cruz had knives and a BB gun and sent the information to the school resource officer — presumably Peterson.

If he had a duty to share that information, things could get interesting.
