A Florida sheriff recorded a message to welcome kids back to school with a promise that the officers in their presence would be armed and ready for potential mass shootings.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced Tuesday in a Facebook video that school deputies will both be armed with large rifles and wearing 'tactical' uniforms on campus.
Ivey emphatically says to any would-be shooter: 'You are not coming into our schools and killing our children. I firmly believe that if you do not meet violence with violence you will be violently killed.'
The announcement was meant to reassure students and parents after a school year that ended with the massacre in Uvalde, Texas.
In the past, the county would force deputies to keep any larger weapons in their vehicles unless there was an emergency.
