Reporter Broward County sheriff scott israel said thursday as shooting unfolded inside Stoneman Douglas high school, Deputy Scott Peterson stayed outside. When we in Law Enforcement arrive at an active shooter, we go in and address the target. And thats what should have been done. Reporter Police Say Suspect nico luz cruz shot into four classrooms.

Im Scott Peterson reporter according to Broward County sheriff records, in february 2016, information was allegedly forwarded to peterson that cruz planned to shoot up the school.

President trump is speaking at the annual cpac meeting of conservatives this morning after saying schools need to protect themselves from violence. A gunfree zone to a killer or somebody that wants to be a killer, thats like a going in for the ice cream. The president endorsed letting trained teachers carry weapons when he met with state and local officials yesterday. That idea has people split along party lines according to a cbs news poll out this morning. 44 of americans favor teachers carrying guns. 50 are opposed. The polls finds 65 support stricter laws on gun sales. Thats the highest number ever recorded in our poll, up eight points since december. Julianna goldman is at the white house. Julianna, good morning. Reporter good morning. The president just indicated hes open to measures opposed by the powerful gun lobby, but hes still most forcefully and enthusiastically backing a proposal that was pushed by the nra in the wake of the newtown massacre, arming trained teachers. We have to harden our schools, not soften them up. Reporter President Trump doubled down on an nrabacked proposal he first mentioned wednesday in an emotional meeting with survivors of the Parkland School shooting. Arming staff in schools. You come into our schools, youre going to be dead, and its going to be fast. Reporter teachers who agree to carry a weapon would get training and financial incentive. You give them a little bonus. Reporter most of the state and local officials at the meeting did not object but the president didnt provide a price tag or propose how School Distri districts with limited resources would fund it. There are over 3 million Public School teachers nationwide and 400,000 in private schools. Arming 20 of them, as mr. Trump suggested thursday, would mean more than 700,000 people with guns in schools. This does not pass any commonsense test whatsoever. Reporter the National Education association said more guns in the school is not the solution. The problem is that very dangerous people have very easy access to very dangerous weapons. Reporter but even with the president actively pushing the proposal to train and arm teachers, today he lashed out at Scott Peterson, the one School Officer who had a gun at last weeks shooting and didnt use it. For five minutes, that was during the entire shooting, he heard it right at the beginning, so he certainly did a poor job, but thats the case where somebody was outside, theyre trained, they didnt react properly under pressure or they were cowards. Reporter and i just asked the president where there is daylight between him and the nra right now. He didnt mention raising the age limit for people to buy some rifles and didnt detail how tough he wants to make background checks. He said hes been talking to the nra. Theyre patriots and they want to do the right thing. Julianna, thank you so much.
