One parent said his daughter is a student at the high school and his father is a teacher, so he's relieved the district police were able to step in so quickly.
"To hear they actually got in, that’s really great to hear. And knowing they’re that assertive as school police, I feel a lot better sending my child to school tomorrow," said Ricky Jackson.
