Frank DeAngelis, former principal at Columbine HS joined Denver7 for a conversation on what needs to happen after the East High School shooting this week: 'I feel so strongly about school resource officers. I feel they should have never been removed.'
DENVER — In the wake of Wednesday’s shooting at East High School in Denver, the community is grappling with solutions to end gun violence in schools. It’s a reality Coloradans know all too well.
On Friday, DeAngelis joined Denver7 for a conversation about what needs to happen following the East High School shooting. Here's the interview presented in a Q&A format. These are not the bad cops. These are resources for our kids. I can't tell you the number of students trusted in our school resource officers.
Officer Beasley was killed and he was I went to his memorial service and all the kids that just spoke so highly of him. So the school resource officers are important. And I'm so glad that Denver Public Schools are bringing them back.So what what else might be done? We know that this East High School suspect was already being patted down every day for weapons.
You know, I think what happened at East is very unfortunate. And I think back to myself as a principal. If something like that was to happen at Columbine, there was a risk that someone may have a weapon, I cannot see myself or another administrator doing it, we would bring in the school resource officer that would pat the kid down and he would have resource to stop if there was an actual threat like there was at East.
