As reported by The New York Post, State Sen. Felder has again called for Albany to pass legislation he authored mandating an armed security guard at all NYC schools. Mr. Felder’s push follows the fatal shooting of four people at a California elementary school. From the NY Post story:
“My legislation to require armed NYPD officers at the entrance of every New York City school is a preventative measure that must be implemented immediately,” said Sen. Simcha Felder.
“A crazed gunman severely injured two students at an elementary school in California this Tuesday.”
He pointed out that the school went into lockdown, giving students and etachers time to hide in locked classrooms.
“An armed guard outside would have neutralized this insane attacker the moment he arrived,” he said.
Felder’s bill — introduced over the summer — requires a uniformed, armed cop at each of the city’s schools, beginning an hour before the school day and ending an hour after classes let out.
