School leaders let students know that they plan to tighten policies and procedures to prevent future incidents.
“I’ve also been saying that metal detectors would also be really strong for the school. To protect the students, the staff, anyone really,” Caceres said.
While no one reported that any shots were fired, the incident has left residents and parents in the area upset and concerned about safety.
“People got to monitor their kids at home because a lot of this starts at home, and you’ve got to see the signs of kids,” said Gregory Williamson, parent of a Pebblebrook High School student.
