The Parkland Dad Who Delivered A Passionate Speech About His Daughter Just Filed A Lawsuit Against The Officer Who Stayed Outside During The Shooting Andrew Pollack, whose 18-year-old daughter Meadow Jade Pollack was killed in the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the school resource officer who waited outside the building while the massacre unfolded on Valentines Day. A passionate, vocal advocate for school safety, Pollack gained national recognition after he delivered a searing, powerful speech during a listening session with President Donald Trump after the shooting. His lawsuit primarily targets Scot Peterson, the Broward County sheriffs deputy who resigned following criticism for his behavior during the massacre. I filed a wrongful death suit against Deputy Peterson today, Pollack tweeted Monday night. Like Borges, Pollacks suit states that the Snead family, who took in Cruz after his mother died, should have known then 19-year-old suffered from mental illness and should not have given him access to a gun.
