The FBI has joined the investigation into the shooting.
ABC News aired a phone call from a grandmother who said teachers should be armed with guns to protect the students.
ABC News had the grandmother of one of the students on a live call.
I’ll bet they weren’t expecting her to say she believed the teachers should be armed and also believes in the SECOND AMENDMENT. Listen to them quickly interfere and steer the conversation away. pic.twitter.com/eniCVZ60i7
