TALLAHASSEE, FLA.—The armed officer on duty at the Florida school where a shooter killed 17 people never went inside to engage the gunman and has been placed under investigation, police announced Thursday. There was also a communication issue between the person reviewing the school’s security system footage and officers who responded to the school. The deputy found Cruz a short time later at a nearby park. A day after an emotional meeting with survivors and their families, Trump tweeted his strongest stance yet on gun control. At a conference of conservative activists Thursday near Washington, Vice-President Mike Pence said the administration would make school safety “our top national priority” after the shooting at the school in Parkland, Florida.
