According to PulseOfRadio.com, Scot Peterson was seen on video running with two staff members toward the building and pulling out his weapon, but then retreated and took up a position outside.
He is now being charged with child neglect, culpable negligence, and perjury, and could potentially face a maximum prison sentence of nearly 100 years.
Peterson’s attorney said he’s being made into a scapegoat.
Peterson retired after the shooting rather than accept a suspension, and has now been fired.
