Armed guard at Florida high school failed to enter building and stop shooter

The state senator Bill Galvano, who is helping craft a bill in response to the shooting deaths, said an idea gaining traction is a program that would allow local sheriffs to deputize someone at a school to carry a gun on campus.

Galvano insisted the idea is not the same as arming teachers. He said the program would be optional and the deputized person would have to be trained by local law-enforcement agencies.

Joe Negron , the Florida Senate president, said both chambers are working on the legislation in response to the Parkland shootings. He said a final draft should be available “early next week at the latest”.

What won’t be considered is a ban on assault-style rifles. (emph. added)

One of the students who was interviewed referred to this man as a "coward". The student was absolutely correct.
