On the same day the National Rifle Association spoke publicly for the first time since last week’s elementary school massacre in Connecticut, one local school district announced plans to place armed police officers in every school.
The mayor of Marlboro Township in New Jersey said Friday there would be armed security guards at the district’s nine schools starting in January.
“This is not such a major change– we’re not putting in SWAT teams,” said Mayor Jon Hornik.
Hornik, who has three school-aged children, told NBC 4 New York he was still shaken from the Newtown shooting, and he “hasn’t stopped hugging” his five-year-old.
Doesn’t this violate NJ state law prohibiting firearms on school ground except for Police while on duty?
all the police should know all the schools like they know the rest of the town. in and out side. this would help in time .
