School To People Who Look To Do Harm: We’re Armed
CLAUDE, TEXAS — Superintendent Jeff Byrd pointed out two new signs decorating the schools throughout Claude’s school district. There’s one out front stating in bold letters:
ATTENTION: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STAFF AT CLAUDE ISD IS ARMED AND MAY USE WHATEVER FORCE NECESSARY TO PROTECT OUR STUDENTS
Byrd’s explanation is simple. Bad guys look to out-do each other and signs help bad guys know that they’ll face resistance.
“Statistics will show that most of the shootings that have occurred in public school have been some what a copycat situation,” Byrd said. “The goal of the perpetrators is to out-do the last shooting and statistics have shown people with warning signs are being proactive and preventative, the only reason the sign is there is to prevent somebody from coming in.”
