Antioch Excessive College in Nashville, Tennessee, the place a lethal taking pictures befell final Wednesday, didn’t have metallic detectors as a result of some directors’ issues about racism, the New York Submit reported.

“I knew today was gonna occur,” Fran Bush, a former Metro Nashville Public Faculties (MNPS) board member, informed the New York Submit. “I knew it was gonna occur simply because it’s like a free open door, everyone coming in.”

The taking pictures, which left 16-year-old pupil Josselin Corea Escalante and the suspect lifeless, has dad and mom calling for the college to herald metallic detectors after the AI safety system didn’t detect the 17-year-old gunman’s weapon.

“There’s no research [that] exhibits metallic detectors don’t work,” Bush informed the Submit. “If that was the case, then we gained’t have them in our airports, sports activities video games, we wouldn’t have them in all these locations that require safety.”
