QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are children safe in local schools?

The mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas has again brought school shootings into the spotlight.

The shootings have happened all over the country and continue to happen. However, schools in Mid-Missouri and nationwide have taken measures to keep students safe, such as doors that are always locked and adding film to make glass bullet-resistant.

But many parents still worry about the safety of their children with the prevalence of gun violence. And students themselves are leading protests for tighter gun restrictions.
