The Officer Who Waited Outside During The Parkland Shooting Will Get A Pension Of More Than $8,000 Each Month The Broward County Sheriffs deputy who waited outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a shooter opened fire on students and teachers, killing 17 people, is being paid more than $8,000 a month from his state pension. That amounts to $104,428.20 annually, which is about $2,550 more than he made during his last year with the department, according to the Sun Sentinel, which first reported his pension payment Tuesday night. Although Peterson has been vilified by some for not running into the building to engage the shooter, the deputy had an otherwise respectable career as a trusted school resource officer, said the Sentinel, citing annual reviews of his performance. Andrew Pollack, the father of one of the Parkland shooting victims, called Petersons pension payment disgusting and said that the money should go to bolster school safety efforts. Alyssa Goldfarb, a 16-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, declared that Peterson should not receive any sort of pension.
