"Those officers were in that building for so long, and that suspect was able to infiltrate that building and injure and kill so many kids," Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood told the Citizen-Times."I just want to make sure my deputies are prepared in the event that happens." School resource officers are being trained to use the weapons and respond to potential mass shootings, Harwood said.
