It’s been two weeks since the shooting at Northwest High School.
Andrew Hunt said it was a long two hours waiting to reunite with his son after the Northwest High School shooting on Sept. 10. He said he still gets emotional thinking about that day.
“At this point, I’m still pretty upset,” said Hunt. “I shouldn’t have to send my kid to school and worry about this happening to them.”
“Why did it happen? Why didn’t we have these security measures in place?” he said.
Omaha School Board member Bri Full said she’d be willing to hear these questions in a listening session or town hall about school safety. It’s something Hunt said he’ll support.
“I think the voice of people needs to be more direct, and I think they need to listen in more,” said Hunt.
But in a social media post, Full wrote that Board President Spencer Head doesn’t want any town halls or listening sessions about school safety because it’s an election year and quote “I don’t want these to turn into campaign gimmicks for members or others.”
