Recent incidents involving firearms and threats in schools have raised concerns about student safety across the United States. In Louisville, a student was charged after a gun was found in their backpack, while in Bolivar, another student was detained for hiding a firearm in the school ceiling. In Memphis, a mother was charged after her 6-year-old child brought her handgun to school. Social media threats also led to police investigations and increased security in Maury County and South Lyon, where students were disciplined and banned from school grounds for posting threats online. These events underscore the ongoing challenges of maintaining safety in educational environments.
