Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) wants to limit the amount of entry and exit points at schools following Tuesday’s devastating mass murder in Uvalde, Texas.
A madman police identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos stormed into Robb Elementary School in the city Tuesday after he crashed his truck.
He barricade himself inside and did the unthinkable, murdering 19 children and two adults. Ramos was killed by a Customs and Border Protection officer.
The incident is the deadliest school shooting in Texas history, and has left a community shattered.
Gun control advocates have called for legislation to restrict access to firearms. Conservatives, meanwhile, have called for other measures, such as enhanced security and mental illness.
Cruz joined Fox News Wednesday evening, where he floated the idea of limiting the number of doors at schools. He told network host Jesse Watters a central entry and exit point at every school would increase safety for students and teachers.
“I have introduced legislation to save schools like this elementary school behind me can get federal grants to harden their security to put in bullet proof doors, bullet proof glass,” he said. “To put in armed police officers to protect kids.”
