(NBCMIAMI) — Deputies will carry rifles on the grounds of local schools in Broward County in the wake of the Parkland school shooting, Broward Sheriff Scott Israel announced Wednesday.
Israel said that only deputies who are “qualified and trained” will carry the rifles on school grounds.
“When they are not carrying the rifle, until we look for gun locks and gun lockers, the only place when they’re not slinging the rifle, that will be allowed to be stored, will be in their locked police vehicle,” said Israel.
