I spent a couple of hours one night on the internet watching local television station's broadcasts on shootings in their cities where a legally armed citizen saved themselves or another because they were carrying. I stopped after two hours because it got late. With the anti-gun bias in our major media outlets, do you think really think they want to give this national attention?
As far as the sheriff's deputy in Parkland, my understanding is that the sheriff's department's policy was to wait for backup. If it was me, I would like to think I would have disregarded policy and acted. Some organizations are so rigid in their policies that not toeing the line can have serious consequences. No one is able to get into his mind to see what he was thinking. I believe the policy has been changed from waiting for backup to one of immediate response by whatever LEO is at the scene. Picking out one example like this proves nothing.
