Judge Allows Parkland School Shooting Reenactment in Civil Lawsuit Against Former School Resource Officer

A judge in Florida has ruled to allow reenactments of the 2018 Parkland school shooting as part of a civil lawsuit against former school resource officer Scot Peterson, who was found not guilty of criminal charges last month. The reenactments are being sought by the victims' families and a survivor to prove that Peterson heard the gunshots and knew where they were coming from. Both the plaintiffs and the defense will conduct reenactments, using the same rifle and blanks, within the next month. The admissibility of the recordings as evidence will be determined later. Concerns were raised about potential trauma to the community, and adequate notification will be required.
