Parents of Parkland school shooting victims claim reenactment suggests former deputy heard gunshots

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:00 GMT

Families of the victims killed at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School back in 2018 say a reenactment of the shooting clearly demonstrated that a former school resource officer could have heard and determined the origins of the gunshots. On Friday, gunfire erupted again at the school as part of the reenactment by ballistics experts of the massacre that left 14 students and three staff members dead.The reenactment was part of a civil lawsuit by the victims’ families and the wounded that accuses the Broward County deputy assigned to the school, Scot Peterson, of failing in his duty to protect them and their loved ones. Peterson, who was acquitted at a criminal trial in June, has said that because of echoes he could not pinpoint the shooter’s location.However, David Brill, an attorney representing the families, said the reenactment debunks that notion.“There is no dispute, none, zero, that the shots were clearly audible to Peterson,” sai...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:21:00 GMT

On Monday, he laughed off the idea that his practice status is tied to a contract dispute and said he’s dealing with an injury.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots extra points: N’Keal Harry gets a new team, Devin McCourty co-hosting preseason broadcast New England Patriots | Patriots training camp Day 12: Matt Judon returns with 3 sacks, Bill Belichick’s defense strikes back New England Patriots | What Patriots teammate told Jack Jones before...

Gas prices in Massachusetts continued their climb over the past week, tacking on 7 cents to land at $3.74 a gallon in the latest survey by AAA.Last week’s climb comes on top of the 10 cent jump the week before.Gas on Monday was running 19 cents higher than the price a month ago, though that was still 64 cents lower than a year ago when the price at the pump was $.38 a gallon.“Last month’s extreme heat played a role in the recent spike in gas prices due to some refineries pulling back, but now operations are getting back to normal,” said Mark Schieldrop, Public Affairs Specialist for AAA Northeast. “Coupled with tepid demand and oil prices trending somewhat lower, this may help take the steam out of the tight supply price jolts we’ve seen lately.”Gas in Massachusetts is running lower than the national average, which hit $3.82 in AAA’s most recent survey.Simon & Schuster sold to private equity firmSimon & Schuster has been sold to the private equity firm KKR, months after a fe...
