DENVER (KDVR) -— Wednesday’s shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia has unearthed many memories for those who still remember the shooting at Denver’s East High School.
“We have seen a lot of tragedy at our school and our heart just goes out to those who are impacted by gun violence in this recent case in Georgia,” said Steve Katsaros, co-founder of Parent Safety Advocacy Group and father of two East High School students. “It is a very stark reminder of just how serious the consequences are when administrators don’t take school safety as their top priority.”

Chris Decker, a criminal law expert and FOX31’s legal analyst, said the shooting at Apalachee High School, in which a student shot and killed two students and two teachers, will likely have people scrambling to find ways to protect children in schools.
“This is just another horrific school shooting, you know, which we have been seeing more and more frequently,” Decker said.
