ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD – The Anne Arundel County Police Department on Tuesday announced there will be more uniformed police at schools Wednesday in the wake of a school shooting in Texas that claimed the lives of 19 students and 3 adults.
“While we are all devastated over the horrible tragedy in Texas, we want our students to feel safe and secure. You may see an increased uniform presence at and around your children’s schools during the days to follow. This is NOT due to any threat to our schools, but simply to provide comfort and support. Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS),” AACP said in a statement. “As we said earlier, please continue to keep the City of Uvalde in your prayers.”
