PINE BLUFF, Arkansas Students, parents, police, and community members are all trying to process what happened Monday.and most importantly, how they move forward.
Watson Chapel School District Superintendent Dr. Jerry Guess calls it a tragic day.
After a student brought a gun inside the junior high, questions have been raised about school security.
Budget cuts have removed resource officers from schools for a while now, but Dr. Guess says that wasn t an issue Monday. We have two district employees on the campus. One of them is actually working in the offices of the County Sheriff s Office. He is a deputy sheriff, said Dr. Guess. Officer Arnold was immediately notified and he was on the site, one of the first to arrive.
