Fight, flight or freeze? Officers rarely fail to confront threat, experts say

It's highly unusual for a police officer to stay on the sidelines of an active shooting scene and not try to neutralize the threat, say police psychologists. But they cautioned that there may be more to the story of the campus security officer in Parkland, Florida, who appears to have done just that.
On Thursday, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel announced that the armed school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School never went inside the building on Feb. 14 as a gunman fired shot after shot, killing 17 people.
“I think he remained outside for upwards of four minutes,” Israel said during a news conference, adding that he was "devastated" by the discovery.
Scot Peterson, the sheriff's deputy assigned to the school, should have gone in and “addressed the killer, killed the killer,” Israel added. Israel said he suspended Peterson without pay, and Peterson later resigned.
