December will mark two years since 20 students and six adults were gunned down inside of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. In the time since that tragedy, schools across the country have added security cameras and enforced updated security measures.
But some school districts in Texas do not believe that those steps are enough to ensure the safety of students.
A new state law allows trained school staff members to carry guns on campus. The training program started Monday at Tarrant County College’s northwest campus. A total of seven people are training now, in a class that is similar to a law enforcement academy.
