Nashville school parents are feeling uneasy after two students were caught with loaded guns on campus.
Both incidents occurred Wednesday — one at Hunters Lane High School and the other at Haynes Middle school, where one shot was fired outside by a 13-year-old.
Talia Monget runs the AnTwand Covington Jr. Foundation in honor of her late son. She has been feeling uneasy about guns being brought inside Metro Nashville Public Schools.
“I’ve lost a son to gun violence. I also have a grandson in MNPS schools. I have stepkids in MNPS school,” Monget said.
She’s concerned about those recent incidents at Hunters Lane High School and Haynes Middle School. Police said the incident at the middle school was over a fight that happened a week prior.
“You had beef the week before and you carried it over, so that tells you our kids are carrying things on with them from week to week. We don’t know what’s going on, and that’s an issue,” Monget said.
Monget thinks more needs to be done to address the problem.
