After three gun violence incidents in recent weeks, school leaders are trying to improve safety in North Texas schools.

North Texas schools have had at least three gun incidents involving high school students in about three weeks.

Not even three years on the job as Superintendent, and she's already got the experience dealing with school safety concerns, after threats of a mass shooting on her campus. Schools have tried everything from metal detectors to protective film to clear backpacks and the guns still show up, still become a threat.

"My wife is a teacher, she said I know you've been working on something to combat active shooters you need to put the gas pedal on, so we did," said Sellers.
