Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton argued on Thursday that arming teachers and school personnel would be a significant deterrent against future school shooter threats.

Paxton shared the remarks during an interview with Newsmax regarding Tuesday’s mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 students and two teachers. The shooter also shot his own grandmother before heading to the school, using a rifle he legally purchased shortly after his 18th birthday.
