WASHINGTON – Maryland state lawmakers are considering a controversial bill that would place armed officers in schools statewide.
The proposal comes from Republican Delegate John Cluster Jr., a retired police officer from Baltimore County.
“Although security enhancements may help, the bottom line is, not having somebody on the scene is really the problem,” Cluster said Wednesday in front of the state’s House Ways and Means Committee.
Cluster, a Republican, told committee members, that it’s not a matter of when there is a school shooting in Maryland, it’s a matter of when.
