On the flip side, a metal detector would not have stopped this kid, he didn't even go to school there. They aren't even telling us how he got on campus (hope they get sued for millions). Why are so many schools so easy to get on? My daughter's high school is closed campus for the most part. After 815a and before 215p you have to go through the office where there is a police officer and get buzzed in. Of course someone could jump the fence but there are cameras monitored. That's another problem is some schools are not built to prevent people who don't belong, they were built during a time when this was not a problem. These schools always asking for bond money on top of the property tax money and fed money they get, time to tell em no until they keep our kids safe.
