Two different approaches to school security, with two very different outcomes.
The day after local hero Antoinette Tuff talked down the would-be school shooter in Atlanta, a security guard at Savannah State University accidentally discharged his weapon into an occupied classroom. Two different approaches to school security, with two very different outcomes:
A Savannah State University public safety officer accidentally discharged a firearm Wednesday morning, sending a bullet through two windows before it came to a stop in a classroom wall. University spokeswoman Loretta Heyward said the officer’s .45-caliber Glock fired during a demonstration.
The bullet went through a window of the C wing of the Hubert Tech Science Building, where the Department of Public Safety is housed, then through the window of an A wing classroom, where it lodged in the wall. There was a class in session in the room where the bullet came to rest, but no injuries were reported, Heyward said.
