The Uvalde school shooting is fresh on the minds of many as the new school year is now just days away.

is fresh on the minds of many as the new school year is now just days away.

Those are certainly not words parents, students, or school staff want to hear, but the HISD Superintendent says there is equipment his police department needs to become prepared. "200 rifles, 200 ballistic plates, shields as well, and rifle ammunition, to qualify our officers. Right now, as we’ve studied the Uvalde scenario and looked at what proper preparation needs to be in place, our officers would not have been prepared," House says.

In fact, Lopez says the district’s police officers need, "actual scenario-based training with live fire and shields. We need to learn how to maneuver those doors. How to overcome breaching those doors, and we don’t have the equipment in order to do that. An example is, we’ve all seen that horrible video and those scenes at Uvalde when we have officers standing there with the shields, but they didn’t take any action and that was because of the lack of preparation and training.

Rifles and shields? Really?! Is a mass shooting something an urban district PD should be planning to be SOLELY responsible for? Boomers learned to duck and cover in school, but their school districts weren’t clamoring to be armed with their own ICBMs. HISDSupe
