Schools must become like airports, with arm security personnel, police, and metal x ray detectors. If there's money to protect a foreign country like Ukraine, there's money for OUR KIDS to be safe in their schools.

Why ? Some of these people in this world are just another level of disturbed and it shows.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is not to sell him a gun in the first place!!

The suspect was a former student. 28 year old woman who is transgender

I see people praying. I was born and raised catholic. Yet, now, I think that praying gets noone anywhere. Anything, no matter how seemingly small, one can do, to better people's mental health, is a step forward.

Prevention? WTF are you talking about! Stop selling machine guns to people!

We can`t even protect our borders, much less our 1:18-32

Prayers for all the family who lost their love ones ❤🙏🕊

My deepest condolences to the families of the three children and three adults who lost their lives😭...May their souls rest in peace. I would strongly suggest that school authorities keep at least one police officer [not security guard] in each school regardless of whether they are public or private schools. The police could have intervened right there and then as the shooter shot the side entrance door down. This is very sad indeed and something has to be done by our elected officials, especially our lawmakers.

All schools need to have more security and lock out prevention from outsiders coming in. Add detectors at the front like the airport . Why isnt there a bill to approve this ....

[jankristen]

Teachers and staff should have open carry to deal with the mentally ill

Remember a GOOD guy with a Gun always takes out the BAD guy..it's not weapons that kills it's the BAD human handling it.

LEGO Ninjago sets deserved for these children

Securing a building against attack is simple. You need strong doors and windows, and competent, armed personnel inside. If the glass doors had security film it would have delayed entry long enough for weapons to be retrieved from safes and armed personnel to engage the threat from inside the building. Most schools already have at least one or two employees who already shoot guns recreationally, why set up a program to vet them and purchase quick access safes and plate carriers? They'd probably bring their own guns even. Allow them to run training drills with airsoft guns in the school after hours with local police. This whole program wouldn't cost more than a couple grand and would be very effective.

ask their families if they still support current gun laws?
