US President Donald Trump today said he would have run into Florida school to save the students from a gunman even without a weapon.<\/p>\n
“You know, I really believe — you don’t know until you test it — but I really believe I’d run in there, even if I didn’t had a weapon. I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too, because I know most of you. But the way they performed was really a disgrace,” he said during a meeting with governors from across the country at the White House.<\/p>\n
He was criticising an armed sheriff s deputy who did not confront the shooter at the school early this month who killed 17 people, mostly students.<\/p>\n
“We have to take steps to harden our schools so that they are less vulnerable to attack. This includes allowing well-trained and certified school personnel to carry concealed firearms. At some point, you need volume. I don’t know that a school is going to be able to hire a hundred security guards that are armed,” he said.<\/p>\n
Ridiculing deputy sheriffs on duty at the time of the attack, he said their performance was “disgusting”.<\/p>\n
“I got to watch some deputy sheriffs performing this week. And they weren’t exactly Medal of Honour winners,” Trump said.<\/p>\n
He said the issue of mental health should be looked into.<\/p>\n
“Here is the best example of mental health. This kid had 39 red flags. They should have known. They did know. They didn’t do anything about it. That was really a bad time. Nobody bigger for law enforcement than I am. But between the people that didn’t go into that school and protect those lives, and the fact that this should have been solved long before it happened — pretty sad,” the US President said.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
