Congresswoman introduces School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act

5th District Congresswoman Jahana Hayes has introduced the School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act.  The proposal seeks to define what a school shooting is and collect data in order to drive decision making to prevent these tragedies from happening again and again.  During discussion on the bill, Hayes noted that since the shooting at Sandy Hook School almost a decade ago, there have been 862 incidents of gunfire on school grounds resulting in 281 deaths, 14 this year alone.  She also cited data from PEW research, which found that 60 percent teens worry about a shooting at their school and their parents share their concern.
