Run, hide, fight: Local colleges, universities bolster security as campus shootings persist

|

The director of Police Services and Public Safety at Southwest Tennessee Community College even carries a weapon when she goes to church.

“It’s very sad that these are the times we live in, where people feel like they have to be armed everywhere they go. I don’t go to church without at least one weapon,” L. Angela Webb said.

The public safety officer’s remarks came about a week after a gunman opened fire at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte’s campus on the last day of classes April 30, killing two people and injuring four others.
