Kentucky school district scraps plans to arm teacher, staff

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky school district that passed a resolution to train and arm school employees with firearms in the event of an active shooter has scrapped that plan and will instead have uniformed deputies patrolling schools.

Pike County Sheriff's Office deputies will patrol the county's five high schools when the school year begins, officials told the Lexington Herald-Leader on Friday.
