The Fairfax Times reports, (12/17) that Fairfax County Police are stepping up their presence at local area schools in the wake of a mass shooting in Connecticut that left 20 young children dead. According to Superintendent Jack D. Dale, the additional police presence was not made in response to any specific threat, but was simply intended enhance safety and alleviate the anxieties of students and parents.
Police At NRA Building: Fairfax County and State Police units were also stationed
outside the headquarters of the National Rifle Association today. Despite numerous threats against the
organization’s headquarters, which is located in Fairfax County, only a single
protestor was spotted outside of the building.
However, plans may be in the works for more extensive
protests in the near future. At
least one group with ties to the Occupy Wall Street movement is planning to “Occupy the NRA.”
So far the pro-gun rights organization has remained silent
in the face of the horrific massacre.
