The former school resource officer who stayed outside during the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in February declined to testify about the event this week.
Former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson on Thursday refused to appear before a state commission investigating the shooting, The Associated Press reported.
His attorney Joseph DiRuzzo appeared in his place, telling the panel that Peterson was seeking to quash the subpoena to testify with a lawsuit filed earlier in the day, according to local outlet The Sun Sentinel.
The commission is investigating in part whether Peterson could have prevented shooting deaths if he had entered the building where the shooting took place.
