A Florida prosecutor and a defense attorney traded opening arguments on Wednesday at the trial of a former sheriff's deputy accused of failing to protect students during the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Scot Peterson was on duty as a school resource officer when a gunman entered a building in Feb. 14, 2018 and opened fire, killing 17 and wounding another 17. Peterson never went inside while the shooting was underway, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office and surveillance video.

Broward County Assistant State Attorney Steven Klinger told the 6-member jury on Wednesday that the contract between the county sheriff's office and the school endowed Peterson with a unique duty to protect members of the school community.
