Jurors, in a very short time, did just what the prosecutors asked, which was to send a message that shootings in schools, at community events, and into crowds of people come with consequences and cannot continue.
A former Timberview High School student who opened fire in a classroom and wounded three people has been sentenced to 12 years in prison."I think the community has seen enough of this, and I think their verdict and the swiftness of their verdict sends a message that they won't tolerate it anymore," Whelchel said.
The verdict was swift. Jurors were out just a little over an hour, showing it didn't take them that long to reach their decision. After the trial, the 16-year-old injured in the shooting, with her mother by her side, said history keeps repeating itself.Students have to raise their voices to help change the narrative and protect themselves.
"Protecting ourselves with our voices and voicing our concerns to the mayor, city council, just going to our principal and our school board to make us feel safer at school," she added.A new law that takes effect this September will require Texas school districts to have an armed officer on every campus. And if a district is unable to do this, it must have a ‘good cause exception’ with an alternative plan.
