“The university said the move is necessary with the recent terror attacks in Paris and last week’s mass shooting in California. School officials also cited the recent rise in on-campus shootings.

You need a lot of training and certainly it begins a slippery slope,’ said Walsh. The school has more than 60 police officers and 20 of them will be armed with the rifles. Students on campus had mixed reactions to the change.”
