When i first read this I thought it was unnecessary, but my mom told me an hour ago that in Puerto Rico today, there was a shooting at a high school and a few ppl died. My ex goes there, so I can only pray that he's ok. Maybe having the teachers protected really is best.

Yeah i heard about this..yeah they go through mental evaluation, training, and some other stuff i can't remember. lol funny thing not really but funny 2 me. I live in a small paranoid town and we heard about people driving by schools, shooting kids, and that we were next. omg..the teachers would not let us go outside by ourselves. Supposedly it did happen(shooting)everybody freaked out but it was just a rumor. My town just doesn't have anything better 2 do.
