Gun Security Measures Taken by Staff at Nashville's Covenant School

A woman who was at The Covenant School in Nashville during the mass shooting on March 27 told police that a few staff members typically carry a gun on campus, according to a police call obtained by The Tennessean. It's unclear if the staff members in question were present at the school during the incident or what the campus's policies are around carrying weapons. The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The massacre sparked a demonstration at the Tennessee Capitol, during which hundreds of students and parents protested for stricter gun control laws inside the building.
