Peterson told reporters outside of the courtroom that he"got my life back" and said that no one should forget the victims of the shooting.

Ex-Florida deputy and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School resource officer Scot Peterson is shown Monday at his trial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Peterson on Thursday was acquitted of all charges in the 2018 Parkland school massacre.

"In spite of what happened in Parkland, [Stand With Parkland] still believes that school resource officers are a valuable piece of the puzzle that keeps our students and teachers safe," Montalto said. While speaking to reporters outside the courtroom on Thursday, Montalto's interview was briefly interrupted by cheering coming from Peterson's defense team down the hallway. Montalto toldlater in the evening that while the former deputy may be"happy" about the jury's decision,"wait until you're out of the earshot of the people who lost their children."
