Metal detectors to be installed in Newport News elementary schools after Virginia teacher shootingSuperintendent George Parker said the city already uses metal detectors and random searches in high schools and middle schools, but not at elementary buildings. Metal detectors in elementary schools… this is what we have become. My kids have to go thru active shooter drills, I believe in the 2nd amendment, but my god there should be reasonable control. How did that child get the gun? Just ranting but frustrated So where did the six year old buy the gun used in the shooting or did he steal it? OMG it belonged to a parent who is a 'legit gun card holder and owner'. Hmmm! I'm sure the gun owner purchased the gun for protection against who I have no idea. Maybe the teacher? Just saying. How about they are in ALL schools? Help our kids stay safe!🙏
