West Virginia lawmakers and education leaders came together in house chambers Tuesday to discuss ways to improve safety in schools in the wake of last month’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that claimed 21 lives. Two days after the massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, West Virginia deputy secretary of homeland security, Rob Cunningham, was tasked to research ways to improve safety in schools here at home. From his research, Cunningham said 81% of mass shooters tell at least one person that they’re going to do it before they pull the trigger. He said he’s looking into creating a smart phone app where people can report suspicious behavior directly to law enforcement. In Kanawha County, school leaders are looking to increase the amount of armed security officers inside schools with an idea to hire retired law enforcement officers disguised as school personnel to patrol the hallways. But Cunningham said he thinks uniformed officers would suffice. Cunningham said he plans to release a report on best practices for school safety in the coming months.
