Schools in Madison County, North Carolina will be stocked with AR-15 rifles this upcoming school year.
That's according to the Asheville Citizen-Times, which reports the security measure is in response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.The response has been criticized as law enforcement waited more than an hour before engaging the gunman.
"Those officers were in that building for so long, and that suspect was able to infiltrate that building and injure and kill so many kids," Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood told the Citizen-Times."I just want to make sure my deputies are prepared in the event that happens." School resource officers are being trained to use the weapons and respond to potential mass shootings, Harwood said.
