AR-15s put in all Madison County schools to enhance security in case of active shooter
Sheriff Buddy Harwood and Lt. Coy Phillips meet with school system administration July 13 to brief them on the enhanced security procedures coming to Madison County Schools in 2022-23.
MARSHALL - In response to the Texas school shooting that left 19 children dead May 24, the local school system and Sheriff's Office are rolling out some beefed up security measures in 2022-23, including putting AR-15 rifles in every school.

[...]

"We were able to put an AR-15 rifle and safe in all of our schools in the county," Harwood said. "We've also got breaching tools to go into those safes. We've got extra magazines with ammo in those safes."

The only way to stop these is armed response. Good on them.

Not unless there's someone willing to retrieve and use it.

That would be a key component of armed response. Despite what the media will tell you, guns don't shoot themselves.
