In US, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed into law a bill backed by relatives of Parkland school shooting victims that restrict access to firearms and paves the way for some school staff to be armed.

The measure is intended to aid in the prevention or abatement of active assailant incidents on school premises by allowing some school employees to be armed.

The program is mainly aimed at staff such as coaches and school personnel, with teachers eligible if they have military or law enforcement experience.
