After last weekend’s tragic shooting, the main concern of the city of Columbia is violence, especially regarding the Five Points area. City officials, the University of South Carolina students and staff and the businesses in the area are working together to propose potential prevention strategies to address the issue.

Two-thirds of respondents supported placing armed police officers in every school, yet two-thirds also reported they were against teachers themselves carrying guns. While people have different opinions on how to maintain school safety, it’s clear the majority of South Carolina voters agree the best plan for safety in our schools is through the protection of an armed officer.
