I think you missed the PPs point, and jumped in trying to feel superior here.

I don’t think I missed PP’s point and I’m not ok with someone who feels at peace with a classroom full of kindergartners being shot to death.

What have you done about it in the past 20 years, warrior?

Gone to the March for Our lives (with my kids), joined the national and local chapters of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense and donated to them and knocked on doors for candidates who support common sense gun safety measures that would protect my kids.

No, I will never accept or be “at peace” about what happened at Sandy Hook. I choose not to be. Enjoy lamenting about how nothing will change while you do nothing on DCUM.

It's not hard to buy a gun around here. I have a few phone calls I could make and get a new unregistered gun by midnight tonight as long as I'm willing to drive like an hour and a half

I have an honest question. If they do decide to put metal detectors in schools, would they just go at the main entrance or would they be up at every doorway? My HS has something like 65 doors that lead in and out of the building. Kids are always texting people to prop open side doors all day to get back in. How do we prevent that without breaking fire codes that prohibit locking these exits?

And you’d be breaking the law. Do you doing what you propose doing to be even more illegal ? Will that stop someone ?

A gun can be 3d printed. Trigger locks can only help so much.

At the W high school my kid goes to there are only 2 doors that are open to get into the school in the morning. That’s where the IDs are checked.

I was basically responding to prior posts that say gun laws are already strict and the process of buying a gun LEGALLY is difficult in MD. If a kid wants a gun, they don't need to get it from their parents. I'd imagine a good amount of teenagers in the county know how they can get one

+1. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in Maryland posted about the Wootton shooting already. Join us there if you want to change the status quo.

I thought we had strict gun control laws in Md / moco? I guess not.

All doors except for the main entrance should be locked at all times and if propped, an alert goes off to the security team so they can quickly shut the door with the push of a button. At my daughter's school, if you prop a door, and they do have cameras at all doors, you will be able expelled. The main entrance is the only open entrance students, staff and visitors may use and has a metal detector that has weapon detection as do all daps secondary, middle and high schools. Some even have xray machines. MCPS has to make some improvements. I cannot believe that metal detectors aren't in every MCPS high school.

At my upcounty HS, we have 65 doors but they only allow the students to come in through the front 4. We don't check IDs though. The issue is that at any time throughout the day, there is always a door somewhere in the school being propped open by a student to let a friend in.

It’s already quite a legal colonoscopy to both buy and get a carry permit in this state, as one would want. We need to treat security more like courthouses, where it’s not just on the honor system for being gun free.

+1 on this. I’m sure more can be done about gun laws, especially access to guns / registering them, holding more parents accountable for kids shooting kids, etc. But wtf are our tax dollars paying for if we can’t trust our schools to keep our kids safe? Close all but 1-2 doors in schools, have metal detectors, and other relevant tech to ensure safety. It’s a small price to pay to know our kids are more safe in school…

Over 50 staff left over the summer - new principal, half of assistant principals, the head of security, the head of special education, most of counseling, and so many teachers. There was the inadequate handling of racist events. Now this. When is central office going to give Wootton the support they obviously need?

According to other parents on here its the safest best school. We can thank Jwando, the BOE, Taylor and Central Office. Many of us have expressed safety concerns and nothing has changed in years.

All schools need support. A W school should need way less support per DCUM W parents as everything is perfect.

I truely hope that student is ok.

Timing huh? Going from a 'W' school to a 'C' school.

Is there school tomorrow for Wootton students? Did Magruder open the next day?

Buses.
They use same buses to dismiss Frost MS students, then do the ESs then come back to get WooHS. RideOn buses were being used along the WooPrkwy
