PARKLAND, Florida — Someone carrying an assault-style rifle will walk through the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Friday and reenact the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history.

They’ll retrace the Parkland shooter’s steps and move floor by floor through the three-story building, firing live ammunition through shattered classroom windows and into hallway alcoves where students lay trapped and wounded five years earlier.

The reenactment is part of a civil lawsuit against former Broward County school resource officer Scot Peterson, who did not enter the building or engage the teenage gunman at any point during the shooting.
