Thousands of students walked out and marched today to honor the 17 killed in Florida.
Best sign seen (so far):
I have seen the 'deadliest mass shooting in US history' 1 2 3 times. I am 18 years old. #Enough.
Oh, and with regards to arming teachers?
2 “good guys with guns” accidentally fired them in schools on Tuesday
By Emily Stewart, Vox, Mar 14, 2018
In Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday, a school resource officer — a five-year veteran of the Alexandria Police Department — accidentally discharged his weapon while inside George Washington Middle School. No one, including the officer, was injured.
A teacher who is also a reserve police officer trained to use a gun accidentally discharged a firearm at Seaside High School in Monterey County, California, on Tuesday. According to the local outlet KSBW, Dennis Alexander’s gun went off around 1 pm while he was teaching a course about gun safety. He was pointing his gun at the ceiling when it went off, and pieces of the ceiling hit the ground.
The local police department said no one suffered serious injuries, but one 17-year-old boy was harmed when fragments from the bullet hit his neck, the boy’s father, Fermin Gonzales, told KSBW. The boy’s parents only figured out what had happened when he returned home from school with blood on his shirt and bullet fragments on his neck.
Note that both people were trained in the use of firearms.....
