LOUISIANA ( KLFY ) — A Louisiana nonprofit organization based in the New Orleans area is trying to prevent more threats and violence in the wake of unimaginable loss and tragedy in Winder, Georgia.
“Certainly sadness, shock and [it is] really just disheartening that we have to see this happening again and again in our nation,” said Darlene Cusanza, president and CEO of CrimeStoppers Inc. Greater New Orelans.
Their app, Safe Schools LA , allows students and teachers in 650 schools, including in Acadiana, to anonymously report tips.
“Whenever these terrible things happen, these shootings happen, let’s remind ourselves that we have services here. Let’s remind ourselves that we all play a role to speak up,” she said.
“We know that, regretfully, when children or students or concerned in possibly or a point where they’re threatening violence, they usually tell somebody else,” she continued.
