2. SOUNDBITE (English) Madonna Elmore, parent of two students at Antioch High School:
"My daughter told me, like she sent me the picture of the body laying on the ground. Me and my coworkers were crying. I was running out the door. Like my supervisor had to text me like, ‘calm down’ as I was driving because I can’t get the image out of my head and I’m grown. So I can only imagine what a child seeing… And I know I’ve tried to protect my kids at all costs. So if I’ve given you all the the right and authority to have my child and you didn’t protect him or her, I’m not, I’m not satisfied at all."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Madonna Elmore, parent of two students at Antioch High School:
"Definitely when we come to games, we’re going through makeshift metal detectors. They could have, they could put metal detectors in there. Like I talk to my kids all the time… They’re not going to be a problem. So like, we get stopped by the police. We have rules. So if if you go to school and they tell you stop, they’re not talking to you or you get stopped, the question about them, you don’t have to be a problem or is not to be scared. It’s for your protection or your safety."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Madonna Elmore, parent of two students at Antioch High School:
"I feel like the school let us down tremendously. And this is not the first incident that I’ve heard my kids telling me that it was guns or different incidents that happened. And we haven’t been informed or we’ve come up and tried to call and they wouldn’t give us no information."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Adrianne Battle, superintendent of Metro Nashville Public Schools:
"There’s not anything that’s off the table for us. We will continue to dig into those resources and when possible, from investment and timing and all those other things, we will continue to balance the things that have been working in our schools and creating opportunities for new safety and security measures to be implemented across our high schools and across the district."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sean Braisted, Chief of Communications and Technology, Metro Nashville Public Schools:
"And there are videos online that show how Omnilert works. And essentially it ties into our existing network of cameras and it uses AI technology to detect weapons. And so it has been activated before. Typically, it has been when a police officer has a weapon or there have been realistic looking toy guns like water guns and other things like that. In this instance, based on the shooter’s location, in proximity to the cameras, and they just… it wasn’t close enough to get an accurate read and to activate that alarm. The system was activated by police when they, when they brandished their weapon. So it’s not… there’s no foolproof solutions for any of this, but this is one extra step. And so this kind of gets to some of the other active shooter incidents that have happened in the past where people have approached with assault rifles and other weapons. And so that’s one of the measures we’ve taken along with shatter-resistant film and other things."
