A Florida sheriff said schools should have armed personnel to prevent active shooter incidents, citing mass shootings occurring in schools across the country.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd on Thursday said that every school should have more than one armed person on campus in case an active shooter shows up.
On Thursday, Judd listed a number of errors that led to the shooting, from an Uber driver who drove Cruz with a rifle and didn't say anything, to a responding law enforcement officer who appeared to fumble while putting on a bullet-proof vest, which he should have already been wearing at the scene. Judd noted that, most of the time, law enforcement arrives to a school shooting after most of the damage has been done. So schools have to be ready to defend themselves, which is why more armed people on campuses are needed.
The prevalence of mass shootings in schools has prompted some school districts to consider arming teachers or placing armed security guards and military veterans on campuses to protect kids.
