Today, two local schools have been affected by gun violence. My school, North Murray Highschool, had a gun threat from a student, and he was delt with accordingly. About 10 miles up the road at Dalton Highschool, a teacher had barricaded himself in a classroom after they fired shots. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but is it going to take children to be harmed for there to be changes in school security? I am calling for Georgia schools to have an increase in security, because it seems way too easy for a tradgedy to happen. Things such as metal detectors at entrances and more law enforcement presence can make a world of difference when it comes to saftey and peace of mind at school. School should be a place to learn, not a place to fear for your life. Thank you.
