The first person to be seen at the entrance of June Jordan School for Equity in the Excelsior district of San Francisco is Edreana the security guard, who the kids know as E.B. She is still trying to process the Texas shooting.
"I'm a mother of a 5-year-old. So, to get my baby ready for school and then thinking I'm going to pick him up and I don't get to pick you up because this happens like that's scary," she told KCBS Radio.
She feels like it could happen anywhere and she found herself questioning what would she do if something like that happened here.
"Now this is a wake-up call like this now happened in Texas like we need to have more protocol and stuff like that to avoid these types of situations or to even have help around the school like I think people need to take this seriously," Edreana said.
Nichalous Archibald the principal of the June Jordan School for Equity said when it comes to action it really has to come from political leaders taking more meaningful action to stop gun violence.
"I think there is a sense of powerlessness that I personally feel that makes it hard for me to think about what can I do because it just feels like nothing is going to happen," Archibald said.
Vincent Matthews Superintendent of San Francisco Unified School District sent a letter to families assuring them that security and emergency measures are in place at schools.
